May 23, 2014 - SonkinCellars Partners Meeting (The Barn): I haven't had this vintage in a while. Its still outstanding if different than release. The floral quality is gone from the nose. Left is a mineral quality with a bit of fruit, perhaps peach. On the palate, the acidity is more pronounced but still well within bounds. Perhaps its even more food friendly. Still crisp and not tasting over the hill in any way. Some lemony notes on the finish. I would drink these up though in the next year or two as the fruit is fading a bit. Of course, it depends on what you like.

March 29, 2013 - Stunningly beautiful, and, sadly, our last bottle. No flaws. No sediment. No rim variation. Simple amazing nose. Full of citrus. Low alcohol taste. No tannin. Medium finish. Perfectly drinkable. Cannot estimate bottle life, but, should go several more years.

September 29, 2012 - Charity Dinner (Rhys, Corra, Clerc Milon +++): Light golden in color. The nose has strong aromatics. A floral note, honeysuckle? Also some minerals and slight wax notes. Crisp and clean. Showing some complexity as it has shed some fruit, not all but developed some layering. Very nice.
