May 7, 2021 - Reconditioned and stright from producer. Surprisingly light medium gold color. Intense nose of ripe pears, honey, lime. Taste of pears, apples, lime. Medium plus acidity, medium finish.
July 13, 2019 - Thanks to B.H. for this. Colour yellow with bleached marble nose and stone flavours with a mildly austere finish. Ready now.
July 2, 2017 - Premoxed and poured down the drain.
December 24, 2016 - Completely oxidised
June 24, 2016 - This got added to a small dinner party as a late addition, while fully mature it was not over oxidative but required a little air time to strut it's stuff. Started off somewhat shut down aromatically but continued to improve and reached peak about 2 hrs into the bottle at which point it was quite lovely with classic touches of nut and salinity.
December 24, 2015 - As always these days with B de M trepidation on first pour but colour was good pale green and the wine delicious. Classic nut and hay on palate, great depth, good vigorous mineral fruit supported by acidity . Clean finish. Lovely. Why are they not all like this.
August 9, 2015 - The lead in wine to my Pcats wine-tasting. Starting to show its age. Fruit is drying but it had a rich, smoky length. Drink up!
May 26, 2015 - Lime, stone fruit, wet stone and minerals. Drinking at its peak now but the palate was not steep enough.
March 24, 2015 - Corton Masterclass with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): Dark in colour and shows its age. Nutty, caramel, butterscotch notes overplayed with an oxidative side ( like a Rhone white) . Light sweet on the palate. Could definitely benefit from decanting. Has a sharp core and is on the difficult side to be enjoyed unless one likes this style of wine. A touch flat too. 87
January 7, 2014 - Drinking, but not what it should be. Drink 3 years ago.....
