March 3, 2024 - Pure pale straw, lustrous.
Ripe tropical nose, hint of crushed herbs, citrus zest.
Sweet ripe tropical fruit, passion fruit, lemon curd, crushed herbs, bright and intense. Delicious young white Bordeaux.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 24, 2023 - An excellent example of its type, although I feel in a slightly awkward phase at the moment, with the Semillon needing more time to assert itself against the currently dominant Sauvignon. Classic notes of grass, gooseberry and (unfortunately) cat's piss, then a kiss of vanilla on the finish. More enjoyable with air and accompanied by some sashimi. No rush.

August 31, 2023 - A very nicely made wine with lovely clean fruits.
Quite a strong sauvignon blanc on the nose, full of passionfruit and tropical notes that does remind one of wines from the land of the long white clouds. The body was a more structured and nuanced affairs, with the acidity of semillon is in full voice. Still not quite fully integrated and perhaps may require another couple of years to be completely coherent. Enjoyable.
Drink now to 4+ years.
