May 28, 2021 - Drank well, hardly changing over a week. Medium weight with firm acidity and notable cling of texture. Pear nose and mouth with some apricot as well. Neither abrupt nor long and resonating finish, with a quinine and tart quality. Rustic in a good way.

June 9, 2020 - Very pale straw. A delicate perfume of white jasmine, ripe pear and chalkiness. An almost sweet entry into a soft palate where white fleshed orchard fruits and fresh acidity surround a center of robust minerals. The long finish is redolent of elderflowers. Excellent.

June 22, 2018 - Light, slightly green tones yellow colored wine with a fragrant floral nose. The palate is more rich, dense and viscous than it looks with a smokey apple, lemon and mineral expression. Acidity is quite high with the resulting slightly effervescent feel on the tongue at first taste. Finish is rather long with the floral and chalky minerals dominant. Can use either or both some time in the cellar or the decanter. Quite good and an interesting varietal to try.
