A bit austere, although we drank if after an excellent Allende bianco which is really very good indeed and so it wasn't an entirely fair test. Worth the money, although I'd probably spend an extra fiver and get a decent Chablis.

Not at all what I expected, and much better. This puts me strongly in mind of a premier cru montrachet, but it doesn't carry the same price tag. Liked it so much I bought three more immediately, and then 24 more. Buy it while you can, before I do.

For the price, this is really very good. It suffered a bit by comparison to the Brane-Cantenac it was delivered with, and needed a firmer hand in its preparation (decant for at least an hour) to get the best from it. But lovely, all the same - I'd buy it again.
