My last of 8 half bottles. A bright and clean stony nose with white floral notes and pithy citrus. Round but not fat, with orchard fruit adding to the citrus and lacking the fantastic tension of previous bottles. It has morphed into a rounder more mature wine that still has balance. Richer now but still with good cut and a sense of chalkiness and good acidity that leave the mouth watering. Pure, clean, and still very refreshing. my stash of half bottles of this were a great pleasure. Sad to see the last one empty. Lovely. 90

Pure and clean with good acidic backbone. Previous notes described it well. Good nose. The palate was rather tight and needed some air to catch up. Overall a well made wine that is delicious now. Sad to see my last bottle go.

This show's that the excellent 2010's are beginning to come into their own - clean, pure and elegant. Structure and acidity too, but it is not intrusive.

I can;t add much to Jeremy's note, but to say that I am rapidly also polishing off a bunch of the half blles at an astonishing rate, and all have delivered great pleasure. Punches well above its weight. Lovely

Similar impressions as the others. Lots of minerality here with wet stones, slight flint and salted popcorn. Some tart green apple, lime and crisp acidity. Liked it a lot and was disappointed that we only had a 375.

Steely green; much more subtle nose than the Frionnes, hint of nuttiness, green vegetal note with fresh apple- golden delicious, and lime pulp with no noticeable oak (maybe this was in the 500L barrels); fresh, medium power, lemon water, rocks, simpler than the Frionnes but delicious none the less.

Very pale straw yellow. Nose is quite dry and mineral, with flint and pear notes. Elegant and beguiling. Palate: dry and tense, lots of acidity, lemony and mineral. Great lightness and energy at the same time. Excellent St. Aubin! ***

PnP. Initial flinty and mineral notes, after some time in the glass notes of smoke appear. High acidity, tight initially but puts on weight in the glass an becomes absolutely well balanced and enjoyable. Would buy more

The nose is really flinty with some white flower notes and a little white peach. It is sappy and chalky on the gums. Has a touch of aniseed mixing it up with citrus fruit flavours and has good line. A box of hand grenades of this little beaut may not make it to the end of summer.

Kumeu River Masterclass (PWS Melbourne): White flower and lemon nose. Steely, mineral flintiness and fresh acid on the palate. A reasonably interesting wine. Probably a bit young at this stage.

Syrlig, stram, lett og elegant med helhetlig kropp. Lett eikepreg som blir mindre markant med luft. Antydning til fedme i kroppen. Ung, litt glatt, men potensiale til modning.

Crisp, cool, clean. Green apple and edgy acidity. Lively. Pure. Drinkable. A real pleasure.

Clean, pure, elegant, sweet and lovely right now. The finish is a tad short but given the wine's quality, it is good value.
