  February 14, 2020 - Il y a une imprécision au nez qui me déplaît, comme une touche un peu boisée qui ne serait pas maîtrisée, pas intégrée, pas nette. On la retrouve en bouche, par un manque de pureté ; et c’est dommage car pour un 2015 ce n’est pas une caricature de vin chaleureux ou plat : les notes d’amande, plutôt gourmandes, sont relayées par une légère minéralé saline, le vin est rond, compact mais sans lourdeur, intéressant à table.

  June 17, 2019 - Enjoyable over a couple of nights, this shows the warmth of the vintage. Not sure I'd have picked it as a Burgundy Chardonnay, but even though it was ripe and full, it retained enough composure to drink well and sub-$15 beats nearly all U.S. renditions in the sub-$20 category. It had an interesting, intense nose, maybe beeswax and baked apple? The other two CT notes below capture it well.
  
  Not sure where this wine is going. I mostly think this is a Drink Up, but a part of me wonders if it doesn't have a sneaky white Rhone-like ability to develop interesting secondary notes after 5+ years?
  
  [Edit: Note that an '86' from me is not damning. That is just within the "Very Good" point range based on CT's suggested scoring system, which I use irrespective of price, expectations, or producer prestige.]

  November 17, 2018 - Consumed warming from fridge temp to cool room temp. Mild apple/melon rind fruit, a hint of lemon, creamy/waxy texture, some nice minerality. Not very exciting, but seems like it would have been a nice complement to shellfish.
