Superb Montlouis. This is perfectly poised and elegant dry Chenin. Elegant fruit, chalky finish, quite long and vibrant. Starts quietly but grows in the glass. Great now.

A bit circumspect on opening. Seemed a bit scattered on the finish, but gained in gras and precision after a bit of air. A truly lovely wine. Plenty left in the tank, but no shame to open now.

More or less on point with my previous note. The fainest hint of oxidation is emerging, but that waxy, marzipan, crystallised honey/apple palate is gorgeous.

Still lovely, but this bottle was starting to waver and just cross the peak. Still showed a very crystalline honey quality, with waxy lemons, bramley apple, marzipan, and a rather robust lanolin note. There is still great clarity to the mouthfeel, which is both deep and resonous, yet clean and crisp.

Beautiful wine and drinking wonderfully. Popped and poured: honey, ginger, lemon, chalk, beeswax all perfume the glass. Piercing acidity mellowed by the slightest rs. Everything in perfect balance
