December 10, 2023 - QN: have had 2 of these now recently... they just aren't getting better in the way i thought they would. deeply colored, pineapple, minerals, honey, wool. on the palate there are high acids and a somewhat disjointed palate. likely past its prime.

April 16, 2023 - Lemon, flinty smokey stone, chalk. Touch of oak. Good acidity but not overwhelming. Feels good value at the price (€60).
Blind tasted I thought this was a Chardonnay - Grand Cru Chablis. Satisfied because an MW in the group agreed... -

January 15, 2022 - Really good. The nose is complex and intriguing: lemon, pear, quince, vegetal aromas (dried herbs, root vegetables) and some floral notes. The palate is all about texture: it opens pretty full with nice density and some creaminess but then the acidity really pierces through on the mid-palate and it finishes on nice chalky minerality. This is an interesting and delicious wine. It has the structure to continue to age beautifully but I don't know the track record here in regards to oxidation. It drinks very nicely now but I'll hold the other 5-7 years to see how it evolves.

On the palate: fantastic acidity, amazing density; sweet apple, tarragon, sweet pepper, loads of stony minerality, sea salt. Intensely flavored, and a nice long finish. Flat out stunning right now.
