December 9, 2023 - The Columbia Group - Two and a Half Years Later (Our Place): A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Gris. This bottle was decanted for 20 minutes then returned to the bottle and enjoyed over the next hour+. White fruit, citrus and white flowers on the nose. Lemon, grapefruit, green apple, pear, and minerality on the medium bodied palate along with fresh acidity that made it quite food friendly. Will probably hold for several years.

August 13, 2023 - Smith Haut Lafitte crafts some of the finest white Bordeaux, and this vintage, in a so-called off year, continues that tradition. Lemony, stone, creamy - it gets better the longer it is open.

April 3, 2023 - Grassy and herbal notes mixed with yellow stone fruit, hints of exotic fruit, floral notes and minerality on the nose. Very complex, quite open. On the palate nicely balanced - quite rich, but also fresh and vibrant. Very detailed and persistent finish. Excellent. 94-96

December 22, 2022 - Speciel lugt, nogle vil kalde det kattetis. Smagte godt efter en tie på karaffel, åbnede sig virkelig op efter yderligere en time i glasset. Et særligt positivt glas man husker smagen af.
