    July 1, 2023 - 2023 Birthday lunch (Aquitaine Brasserie): Not a bad wine but tasted next to Bin A and Yattarna and this looked a bit clumsy in comparison. Nice stonefruit, oak seemed a bit rough.

    March 26, 2022 - V. v. good. Strong improvement on first bottle (July 2020). Not a hint of oak anymore. Piercing acidity, fresh fruit, minerality, it is all there. Blind could have mistaken this for a really good Chablis 1er Cru.

    July 11, 2020 - Unmistakably Chardonnay. Not too far away from Bourgogne, nice minerals and acidity, but there is some vanilla on the finish might suggest new world. Still, all very nicely balanced and interesting, nothing flabby at all about this, too the contrary, very enjoyable.

    February 12, 2020 - Pale to medium gold in color. Stone fruit with some tropical notes, slight stone, and brioche on the nose. Mouth watering high acid with red apple, lemon, and slight rind on the palate.

    September 5, 2019 - Good nose showing citrus and fragrance as it warmed and opened. There are pronounced lemon citrus flavours and hints of spice on the palate. It is comparatively restrained - more Burgundian than traditional New World Chardonnay. It is an elegant wine with excellent acidity, balance and length but is expensive in UK compared with good white Burgundy at a similar price.
    Good, maybe better, after 24h in the fridge. 90+
    Another bottle 2 days later was full of lemon citrus fruit and almond flavours developed later.
