  Popped 1st bottle of 6 to check the quality before the end of 2023 when the Wine Society's refund policy expires.
  
  Still plenty of life, cork still nicely elastic, no mad rush to drink in my view. Will feel familiar to any Sandhi drinkers. Leads with citrus when too cold but finds its balance after warming up for 30+ mins in the glass. Careful and very pleasant blend of citrus fruit, stone fruit and lees / oak elements.

  Buttery, medium body, not that intense. Drink now, it’s probably past its peak.

  Best white wine of '23... so far. Such tension and verve, fantastic. No butter bomb here, only Burgundy turned up to 11. Ok, maybe 10.5.

  nose - reticent. perhaps some seashell
  mouth - white flowers, but a bit lean. excellent almost piercing minerality. reminiscent of chablis, which is an impressive feat in its own right.

  This bottle is starting to show its age. Still stunning, full bodied, and elegant. Enjoyed at Antoine's in New Orleans.
