June 25, 2023 - En magnum. Medium yellow. Not a hint of oxidation. Still fresh. Excellent mid palate and finish.
May 31, 2023 - Open for an hour. On the nose, cream, light caramel, baked apple, and a kind of green vegetable note, perhaps sugar snap peas like you might find in Gruner Veltliner or Muscadet. On the palette, sour baked apple, cinder toffee, still the greenness, cream on the finish. Maybe some lemon. So intense and complex, with great weight and texture. Huge length, getting on towards a minute.
May 28, 2023 - DOA
May 28, 2023 - Opened an hour in advance. Pours a pale gold. Baked yellow apples seasoned with cinnamon, toffee apple, cinder toffee, and a slightly green element akin to tarragon and dill. The palate is fresher than the nose with a tart element reminiscent of green apple skin accompanied by a feint spiced component of sandalwood adding some nuance and depth. A superb Chablis.
January 13, 2023 - My 50th at the Ledbury (The Ledbury, London): Pale to mid straw. Properly saline on the nose. Similar on the palate with a pithy grip. Mid weight. Long. This is the best bottle of this yet. GC weight and texture with an extra breadth cf the more laser-like Preuses. *****
January 3, 2023 - Blind, closed nose, barely any fruit, not much going on here. Seems old and past it's prime. Drink up.
June 6, 2022 - Took about 30 mins to get heated. Very deep golden colour that is certainly secondarily developed - honeyed with melon and very ripened citrus, apples, still great acid that keeps the tension intact. Beautiful!
June 2, 2022 - Open THAT Bottle! (Jason's House): Premox
March 6, 2022 - In its prime - fully mature with only a hint of oxidation. Presented with notes of lemon posset and also some green apple. There was a hint of the 2004 green vegetable but I did not find it objectionable. We really enjoyed this wine paired with seared scallops in butter/soy over a lightly creamed spinach puree.
July 30, 2021 - Lovely. Still going strong after 17 years. Great acid and notes of apples.
