  June 15, 2021 - Honeyed texture, well balanced and longer than i would have thought; melon, subdued florals and saline finish. Honestly preferred this to the Carbonnieux of the same vintage. Super QPR

  February 25, 2019 - UCGB tasting Bordeaux 2016 (Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.): Overall still quite locked, firm and fresh citrus acidity, minerals. Not extremely complex, but certainly a very good wine. 89+

  April 11, 2018 - Lemon blossom, raw almond, grapefruit, wet stones. Bright and tangy with a load of citrus and a minerally driven finish.
