Sunday night with home-made Devon Wagyu burgers: Day 3 - half a bottle left in the fridge with the cork reinserted. Weirdly a bit reductive - a hint of struck match and a bit leaner, less generous than before. Really nice - definitely decanting before serving next time.

Composite cork. Colour - mid yellow, colour suggests there may be some pox (or just ox at this stage). Nose tells a different story, some flintiness, a hint of cut grass, candied lemon. On the palate - good acidity, somewhat precise, with some lemon curd as well as some generosity. The wine I've drunk most recently that this reminded me of was the 14 Kumeu Maté's. This is punching well above its weight just now, thoroughly lovely stuff. Drinking great now but no rush to drink up, based on this showing.
Label claims 13% ABV, which is somewhat gentle these days.

Nose has a steely minerality to it with some lime blossom. With time there is some rose petal and some sherbet pip. The oak influence here is masterfully handled, creamy but not in any way overdone.
Palate is rich and long and this unmistakably white Burgundy. There is more lime zest and mountain stream minerality. A joy now but think will bring pleasure for the next few years if this bottle is anything to go by. This is a wine that is really punching above its weight

Pale gold. Some candied lemon, a hint of richness, but still decent acidity and somewhat linear.

Yum. Some candied lemon, generous feel in the mouth with lovely balancing acidity. So pleased to have a few more of these left.
