  August 30, 2016 - medium yellow - slightly copper. Slightly oily appearance when poured. Too cold initially but once warmed the nose is licorice, floral, sea shore. Full bodied, broadly fruity and bread flavours but not terribly detailed. Some alcohol on the finish and the acid is soft. Kinda pricey for what's in the bottle.

  May 21, 2016 - This is really pretty tonight with a fairly unctous mouthfeel to the stone and tropical fruit flavors. There's also plenty of minerality along with some anise and nutmeg notes. This isn't one of the big hitter cdp Blancs, but it is delightful and a really good qpr.

  September 16, 2015 - Medium yellow. Flowers, dry straw, soil, peaches in the intriguing nose. Richly textured, savoury first and fruity second, minerality is third. The acid is slight, resulting in a certain dullness in the finish. Really interesting and worth rebuying.

  May 2, 2015 - Very nice tonight with good depth to its stone fruit and tropical fruit flavors. There's a firm minerality and some nutmeg notes floating through the background along with enough acidity at its core to keep the roundish mouthfeel from being flabby. Very well done for this price point.
