June 19, 2019 - Tart citrus with saliva-generating acidity. Lemons, minerals. Little oak showing. Almost Chablis-like. An excellent wine that's still very young.

April 23, 2014 - Super direct, crisp, tangy, and taut, but with a little oak, too, and lemons, and a meursault-like quality, but high-tension, refined meursault.

September 14, 2013 - A Visit to Tawse Winery (Tawse Winery): A solidly built and structured ringer for a White Burg. Nose of mineral, wet stone, lemon, pear, kisses of high-quality french oak via toasted nuts and vanilla. Palate isn't quite as long as I had hoped but features plenty of mineral and acid. Would fit in well with a lineup of high quality village white burgs. Doesn't give in to overripeness or over oaking. No tropical notes or butterscotch at all.

September 14, 2013 - Bold mineral and green apple nose. Lemon curd and salted butter, finishing with a faint stony impression. Coulda been Meursault. Right up my alley, love it.

June 3, 2013 - Smells like a Canadian Orchard, bright apple blossoms mixed with a hint of lime , on the palate fantastic acidity, that has bright fruit that is begging for another sip, great texture, a med body, high acid, med+ intensity, long finish, that lingers ever so gently
Conc: Solid Wine would like ot have some more in my cellar
