  January 1, 2024 - Goudgeel met oranje tonen. Neus van hazelnoten, appelcake, honing, cavaillon meloen. Heel vol maar plomp door een gebrek aan zuren, niet in balans. Waarschijnlijk boeiender jaren geleden maar door het gebrek aan zuren nooit groots geweest. Er is boeiender witte Hermitage dan deze basis Hermitage van Chapoutier in dit jaar op deze leeftijd. Ok bij de maaltijd maar op zijn retour. Blijft wel herkenbaar als een Hermitage.

  February 5, 2023 - Nose of honey, macadamia, green fig, starchy fall apple and lilac. Viscous honey on the palate. Not overly heavy, though acidity could have been more prominent. White pepper, melon, nutty, marmalade. With a touch more acid this would be phenomenal, but this bottle was still quite good

  November 27, 2022 - Marzipan, hazelnuts, cold steel, warm apple crumble on the nose. On the palette, the fruit less there, but added ginger, and nice acidity giving a real tingly feeling on the tongue. Some herbaceousness and mild pithy bitterness too. The richness of the nose didn’t translate though.

  November 26, 2022 - Pours a medium gold. More restrained and less exuberant than some of the white Hermitage I’ve enjoyed in the past with baked yellow apples, honeysuckle, blanched almonds, dry river rocks, honeycomb, and camomile. There’s a touch of spice and bitterness on the palate, which is concentrated and persistent.

  October 23, 2022 - Sadly oxidised likely due to poor storage. Even so one could see the shadows of what would have been a great wine…
