April 4, 2024 - Gooseberries, vegetable notes.Don’t drink too cold! Nice! 91-92
March 14, 2024 - Smoky sea spray nose, quite interesting. Grapefruit and buttery palate. Quite nice for the price. 90
February 29, 2024 - Small dinner with large pours (Ariana II): On pouring - taut but not austere, some waxiness, lovely depth. Seemed to clearly outclass the 21 Riverby served alongside it. Weirdly, though, the nose became quite advanced, quite quickly - like realtime oxidisation...it didn't go over the hill but it was noticeable. When the food arrived it regained its composure somewhat, and it never quite descended into the threatened poxy state. With that said, if I had them, i'd be drinking them up.
February 28, 2024 - BWC Pot Pourri at Ariana II (Ariana 2, Kilburn, London): Some straw and pineapple cube boiled sweets on the nose. Some under ripe Galia melon too. Palate very well balanced with some subtle grassiness and a mineral backbone. Evolves quite rapidly in the glass. Improves with the food.
January 29, 2024 - Medium golden. Waxy nose, some vanilla wood, rather buttery and grassy. Yellow fruit dominates but there is some citrus pith on the mid-palate if you give it a good swirl around your mouth. Really rather pleasant all in all, if a bit understated. First of case of 6.
November 4, 2023 - nice wine, don't wait, good drinking now
October 13, 2023 - Skyhög syra men samtidigt mycket fylligt. Välintegrerade fat och karaktär av grillad citron
October 7, 2023 - Needs decanting and some time in the carafe to open up. Fresh and bright, yellow fruits with some wooden notes, very nice wine to the meal with turbot.
June 6, 2023 - good bottle, typical sauvignon notes. good mouth feel and freshness, medium length. good but nothing special.
May 30, 2023 - Already past it’s best- fruit and acidity dropping off, so tastes a bit dead.
