Sunday lunch with the Wine-Ark boys (Porcine, Oxford Street): Low intensity aromas show a little vegetal note, honey…Medium plus intensity acidity, creamy, tangy, honeyed notes, very slightly sharp. Touch of textured burr, it's a little flat. Hmm for me.

Coravin fun - Alsace, Loire and Random French (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Bees wax with a little polish underpin over honey, candy floss, lemon, a little minerality slight herby, green apple quality. Medium plus intensity acidity, burr tugs at the mid palate ,flavours are slightly muted after the Bredif's. Feels like it is more about structure. Okay.

(Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec) This was slightly closed but a fabulous wine. Great nose of slightly underipe caramel, spice, wet wool, almonds and astounding minerality. The palate is clean and precise with a suggestion of sweetness and a wonderful complex finish. Started to open up aromatically right at the end of the meal. The nose become very floral and the palate had more cut and definition but ultimately this wine did not have the snap of the brilliant '02.

I think this is a faulty bottle - no stone fruit very little bouquet and over acidic

Similar to prior note after a 1 hour SO; delicious, drink or hold.
