May 30, 2019 - During a Loire/Rhone blind tasting dinner with pirates. Not completely dead but it did have too much of an oxidative note for me to enjoy.

September 26, 2015 - Again confoundingly fresh and burg like. This time though I thought a bit more chassagne like but the crispier and lightly made style.

September 24, 2015 - Public Holiday Tea at Alex's (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): Very Chablisienne. This nosed of chalk and smoky mineral, saline seashell and peachy white fruit. Just a waft of lanolin pulled me back to the Loire. The palate was very youthful. It was certainly not primary, with mellow white fruited flavours nestling in a slightly creamy fleshiness on the attack. But this was still really fresh and lively, lined as it was with bright, clean acidity and a lovely mineral and spice streak. A nice wine, not super complex at its age, but with plenty of character. Good now.
