Opened at Caprice in Hong Kong. Decanted but enjoyed immediately.
This was a very pleasant surprise - a beautiful Chassagne and drinking wonderfully despite the young age. Just give it some air, and it will blossom. Buttery, nutty and floral Chardonnay notes, balanced by good acidity and structure on the palate.
PYCM is the real deal. I think there is some upside here, and would revisit in 3+ years.

Initially some soft gun smoke, then yellow apple, papaya, some thyme and florals Gorgeously rich on the palate - expands and expands - rich papaya, citrus tang (some sort of exotic orange), saline, cream. Basically bouncing around between most of Chardonnay’s greatest hits but hangs together like a complete set. Lovely

Needs more cellar time. Drank with cracked crab and on opening the acidity is racy and vibrant but the body is super compact and only opened after 3 hours.

Opened in the bottle all day. Nice orchard fruit, white flower, vanilla and some reduction. Good but not giving much more than the Le Blanc at this stage. Hold these for at least five years.

Sixpenny with the GMs: Smoky, ripe orange, plum, apple and wax. Open and attractive palate profile, fruit is punchy and delicious. Good stuff!
