March 30, 2024 - An incredible wine. Not showy, but the complexity sneaks up on you. Clear SB nose, but not obviously so. Some tropical flavours, herbal and some wax notes. The palate is amazing. The Sémillon really shows here. Honey, wax, orange oil. Rich but balanced

December 14, 2023 - CdB Committee Meeting: Light gold plus color. Drank a glass over 90 minutes. Peach pit, apricot, lychee, tart unripe mango, parafin, spicy, really shows that shellac character on the back end which gives it that sharpness on the back end. Showing some alcohol too. Have one more to compare at some point.

December 11, 2023 - Another premox'd bottle of this wine. 2 of 2 - so far. Extremely disappointing.

September 24, 2023 - From 375ml… This is outstanding. Spices, cured lemon, vanilla bean, linseed oil and incense. Dry and slightly oxidative in style, there’s great intensity from acids and dry extract combined with an oily unctuousness that is the perfect foil to the brightness and energy. Definitely a style that harkens more towards a Rioja blanco than anything in France, but still it is somehow different/fresher than an address like Lopez de Heredia. Whatever the profile, I think this is magnifico. 93-94 pts.
