A great reward after a long day. Discreet, refined and complex, just the way I like it more and more. Chalky, Pear, Honey, white flowers and sightly nutmeggy as well. On the palate, suave, elegant and long. Certainly not fat, surely sexy. Rocky mineral, even slightly saline and the beautiful combination of bitter sweet which is splendid. A beautiful match with wonderful Bottarga from Sardinia. Though during the day it seemed a long day, as of now, life is still beautiful. Cheers,

This wine has developed nicely over the last few years and is currently in a good spot. An attractive grapey bouquet with limes, greengages, river boulder and green apple. Dense and viscous on palate with plenty of green and yellow citrus and orchard fruit. Slatey minerals provide a thread through the wine. Quite grippy and almost tannic with some nice apricot kernel bitterness on the moderately long, dry finish. It has a 2012 richness to it but good fresh and refreshing acidity provides good balance.

This has put on quite a bit of weight since I tried my first bottle a few years ago. It has lovely tension of weight and verve, with real personality and life. A lovely example of the variety – very pure.

Fick det blint. Utan tvekan en Aligoté, och en bra sådan. Väldigt lätt och elegant med rätt mycket mineral i form av lite salta ostronskal i eftersmaken.

Pronounced acidity, citrus and all that. My first Aligote. Could have been a Chenin Blanc.
