  August 30, 2023 - Wine Group Dinner #198, Harvey's Restaurant, Fortitude Valley. The lead into a 2012 Grand Cru Burgundy Dinner, this wine opened beautifully with a pale colour and a nose of white flowers, white peaches, freshly cut Nashi pears, touches of lime and lemon rind and limestone rock after rain. The palate has lovely weight and shape with an added degree of florality and lifted fruit that persists nicely into a long finish. There is both volume and drive here making a great bottle of White Burgundy.

  September 26, 2022 - Stunning rendition with plenty of years in front of it to peak. WOTN in an 8 bottle tasting of extravagant proportions that included LMHB 55, lafite 82, LMHB 96, Ducru 82, Conseillante 59 etc. evolved and improved in the glass over 4 hours with a 1 hour decant ip front.

  September 17, 2021 - At the birthday of friends at Harvey's Restaurant, Fortitude Valley. This wine opened beautifully with a pale colour and a nose of white flowers, yellow and white peach, freshly cut Nashi pears, lemon rind and limestone. The palate has lovely weight and an added degree of florality and lifted fruit that persists nicely. This was my only bottle and sadly I can't observe its future progress other than visually ! However under Diam I feel sure of a long and graceful development curve that would bring me back again in at least 5 years.

  October 24, 2018 - Tasted at the cellars; this was a wow wine for me; the nose is initially intensely mineral with hints of spice, lemon curd, baked apple/pear, there are some acacia/spring floral notes with air; the palate is big, yet the minerality of the wine gives it a precise and laser like energy; the flavors seem to keep expanding and changing in the mouth and finishes long and lingering. Would be fun to taste a pristine bottle of this in 10 years.
