  Served blind. Just got better and better with air. Savoury nose with almonds and Battenberg sweetness on the nose. Medium to full bodied. Great acidity. Not lean but crisp. A seriously long finish. Shared with SJW in Sablet.

  Firing on all cylinders, this is a wonderful wine. Packed with lemon and peach the palate is buttery with a great overall freshness and a pronounced minerality. The finish is particularly impressive. Highly recommended and it improved with food.

  4th of 6, opened 20 minutes, perfect cork and level, palish gold, unctuous, chalky fruit, mainly tropical with nice citric lift, fullish, v long and complex, quite pure and with decent drive to tad clunky fruit, would benefit from greater minerality as citrus alone brings wine into some sort of balance, no pox, sense of still needing to come together properly and with time in hand to do so pox risk aside. Prospective VF (18.5)......best showing by far!

  3rd of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, clean bottle at last, pale yellow, leggy; very lemon, some chalk and peach; medium bodied, decent length, not particularly complex and a bit clumsy at this level, the Caillerets in '14 was a better wine, it has the weight of fruit to improve, but really needs more zip. As this is my 1st clean bottle probably best to drink; several grades below PYCM's Chevalier '06 on following night (even though I understand he made this wine for Dad). Just F+ (18).
