February 25, 2024 - First night palate was dominated by grapefruit. Drank again on third night, and it had settled down, much more mineral, with a nice citrus balance. Score from third night.

September 14, 2023 - Very citrusy with good mineral attack and core fruit tension. The vintage has added fatness to the wine. Drinking very well. 91+

August 27, 2021 - First night had a beautiful nose and palate, lots of fruit, with a little bit a buttery warmth. Second night, had become more acidic.
