April 1, 2020 - Deep gold, oxidative colour. Was taking a chance on this wine at this age! Evolved nose with honey and syrup notes and some wet chalk. Dry, with a crisp acidity, but the fruit sadly has gone and only the honey and acid remain.

April 22, 2019 - This is not a chardonnay for the feint of heart. Lemon/gold colour (dare I say it could almost pass for piss in a glass), very present oak, dense and very rich, touch of honey, finishes with a bit of lemon sour. Somewhat in the Meursault style, but with a new world edge and boldness.

February 12, 2018 - Last bottle. If you like graceful elegant Chardonnay with light oak an essence of minerality and hints of light fruit then this is NOT the wine for you. This remains a brooding monster full on but nicely balanced oak and lashings of buttery toast, ripe melon and a wonderfully long finish
