  Second of a case, and it was consistent in its delivery. If tasted blind, this could be a Grand Cru Chablis. Lemon, lemon curd, pineapple, and tropical fruits define the nose and palate. The finish is razor sharp, with faultless precision and balance. I decanted the wine this time, and it paid dividends, particularly end palate and finish, where I picked up nuance which wasn't discernible when last tasted.

  This is another New World Chardonnay that could easily go head to head with the Burgundy domaines, and at a quarter of the price. This is at the top of its game with a mature palate. Lemon and apple dominate the taste profile, with a buttery palate, and a clean precise finish.

  Bottle #5. Electric. Vivid lemon, both in a juicy and peel sense. Tangy nectarine flesh, green apple, some lingering toast from the barrel and a big swath of flint that is unmistakable. This has lost nothing in 8 years since release and it's as lively and nuanced as the beautiful 2014 that so many of us have enjoyed since release. I am affirmed again in thinking that this 2015 is as good as the 2014 was, and perhaps better at this stage.

  Very nice. Enjoyed over three nights and while acidic on night three, the wine held up. Brilliantly lemon curd on the first two days. Frankly there should be a couple more years before it shows decline. I often believe Jamie’s whites are massively overlooked ….. try them and let me know.

  Grilled lemon, white peach, buttered popcorn and a wet gravelly mineral note. Pure and ripe yellow stonefruit and citrus on the palate. Medium body, zingy acidity, good nuance. Long, balanced and sour citrus-driven finish, with a mineral touch at the very end. Love this wine.
