January 8, 2024 - NR because of my late note. Opened a few months ago from a recent purchase. This is the 2nd time I've tried this wine. The first was the 2013 with my brown bag group and they thought the '13 was excellent with great floral notes. 6 months later the same group thought the '16 was missing the floral notes of the '13. I agreed. I have a few bottles of each left. We'll revisit. For now, I'll hold off one buying more. I did purchase a 6 pack of the '20 Pape Clement that I'm looking forward to trying soon.

November 4, 2023 - Has really developed well over the last few years. Great balance, with enough oaky buttery notes but really well defined acidity. Great accompaniment for lobster as if it was a top notch Burgundian Chardonnay

October 6, 2023 - This has integrated oak providing structure but not imparting anything remotely close to vanilla or butter, so no worries with that. High acidity balanced with medium body, citrus, a touch of grass. Below, someone said they noted passionfruit, and I totally get that. The wine is integrated, but not resolved. Plenty of time left. Not yet embarking on a tertiary voyage.
