May 8, 2022 - I had always been a bit disappointed with this wine until I tried it with some bottle age. The last couple bottles I've had had 7 years on them and were fantastic. This had a honey aroma and flavor and golden color from age but more particularly a complexity which makes it fascinating (and hard to describe), and helps it hold up well against a wide variety of food. This particular bottle was showing a bit of raisin which makes me think we drank it just in time - but for my taste 6-7 years seems to be the sweet spot to my taste.

February 8, 2020 - Ripe stone fruits leading to apple, bit of oak, touch of pleasing saltiness and bitterness on the finish. Oak shines a bit too much at times and fleshiness can get a bit the better of this for ample tension, yet still better than most any $30 chardonnay out there.
November 2, 2019 - Regular dinner group. Many wines based on the book “1001 wines you must try before you die”. (By EM @ Bottles): Some candy impressions in the bouquet and on the palate, good acidity, some minerals, sweetness and pleasant bitterness in the finish. 89 – 90
October 13, 2019 - Such a refreshing wine and lack of oak allows us to get it really cold. Was really nice with cod and wild rice
September 22, 2019 - Consistent with previous notes earlier this year. Drink 2020-2025. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

July 25, 2019 - Overraskende god vin som var perfekt i tropevarmen - slank men med god konsentrasjon, hvitgrønn frisk frukt, snev av spice og vanilje, ørlite alkostikk men ikke plagsomt. Denne Aubert de Villaine må tydeligvis ha noe for seg. Burde drikke vinene hans oftere.
