Lemony across and with a bright zingy acidity . So lemony we waive red if this is Chablis or in the absence of heavy oak Assyrtiko! Beautiful wine and we have taken a shine to their whites as they maintain a sense of purity and brightness. Very good 92 and at the start of a decently long drinking window.

Having recently tried the 2017 ( Papies 92) this 2016 was a lot more evolved and felt older and lacking the freshness of the 2017. Not sure its a bottle issue or a vintage issue but this is to be drunk sooner than later by the feel to it. Good wine but on the way down judging from this bottle. 90 at best now

Floral notes in the nose. Take a little time to wake up. On the palate green apple, notes of apricot, lemon, and citrus toward the finish. Nice minerality. Just entering the drinking window. 89-91+ P

A lot mor evolved than the bottle we had 9 months ago ( Papies 92) and just felt odd in a way. We will consider this a misfire…

Good but somewhat unspectacular. Another oaked Chardonnay.
