  January 15, 2022 - lean and bright, a little more oak than I like; not bad

  January 12, 2020 - As my earlier notes. Lovely, elegant, tropical, citrus flavours and a nose that opened gradually and showed floral character. My wife got a subtle taste of turmeric on the very end palate. Good balance and length. Subtle, sensitive oak (though my wife found more oak than I did). Great value.
  Excellent on its own and even better with crusted baked salmon later.

  August 25, 2019 - I won't re-hash my detailed earlier notes but this is now an excellent wine when first opened and it gets better with time in the glass. Superb balance of citrus and subtle 'tropical' fruits with fresh acidity and just enough oak influence to make an elegant, long, and interesting wine. We preferred this (marginally) to a Catena Alta Chardonnay tasted yesterday. This is a relative bargain.
  Next day, it was less attractive - perhaps just a little flabby. I think this vintage should be enjoyed now.

  June 1, 2019 - I can only endorse my comments of December 2017. This has improved further over the last two years. Again, it is better when not too cold. Half a bottle was still very good after almost two days in the fridge. Great wine that cellars well (and good value). 89+
