June 17, 2023 - An Evening with Friends (J&J's): From magnum, double decanted two hours before dinner. Light color. Melon, pear, papaya and banana aromas. Tropical fruit on the palate as well, finishing with good length. 91-92 pts. (J&J)

August 21, 2022 - From a magnum. No formal notes. Nicely aged, I'm not sure this will get any better. Medium bodied with precise acid and a small amount of textural grit. Classic chardonnay notes.

May 10, 2021 - En magnum. Effectively popped and poured and drunk over two hours. The wine would have greatly benefitted from decanting. Tart acidity, great minerality, lots of citrus and some apple. An outstanding food wine. In this format, it easily has another 10-15 years of great drinking ahead of it.
