April 19, 2024 - Note below sums it up nicely. Still got zip to it but will be drinking my remaining bottles reasonably soon.

September 21, 2023 - Still super youthful. Nose of grapefruit, tangerine, lime zest, wet rock & almonds. Similar palate with high acid, very slight tannins to back it up. Let it rip.

August 2, 2023 - Muted lemon pith, hints of oak and lees with lemon curd and toast. Good, but great paired with Mrs. Knurd's roasted red pepper and squash soup! Not as youthful in comparison with more recent vintages of Chx. Carbonnieux (understandable, but referring to 2016 in particular), meaning 2014 for me will be the ones I drink through first. A- (90) evaluation.

July 29, 2023 - 78% Sauvignon, 22% Semillon aged 10 months in barrels of different size (25% new oak) - 13% Vol. Diam30 closure.
PnP. Another 2 years after the prior. Still very youthful and primary without any signs of age, it shows a typical Sauvignon Blanc nose (gooseberries, green apples and citrus), the Semillon is hard to recognize, on the palate it is crisp, clean and dense with a good length.
Very good now, but it is incredible how slow this ages, this bottle is far away from being mature and has at least a decade ahead.1 person found this helpful Comment -
