  September 14, 2023 - Pretty classic if dry Loire Chenin. Nose lemon, quince and mineral. This is about structure and acid and freshness and mineral. and oh yeah there’s plenty of gorgeous fruit too. The salty minerals and slightlybastringent herbs on palate. Oh wow this has so much going on.

  December 12, 2020 - Interesting bottle. Bright, bright acid, with citrus notes prominent at first, then finishing on a bit of a pineapple note. Great with food, but that strong acid made it less enjoyable once the food was gone and the wine was on its own.

  October 28, 2020 - Not sure how the heck this seemed so much nicer than the first bottle after only 5 months extra time, but so be it. This had the nice body and texture with the undeniable tinge of sweetness and bright acidic energy of good Chenin. Perfect for mild-to-spicy Asian cuisine.
  4+11+16+7= 88

  June 5, 2020 - This was a little non-descript for me. Light straw in colour. Pretty muted nose, nice brisk acidity and juicy light light apple and lemon fruit. Overall, crisp and tasty, but not very memorable and without much complexity. On a pure Parker scale this would rate around 70, but its plenty tasty in its own way so 85 points for me.

  May 14, 2020 - Light straw color, not especially clear and bright. Lightly-powered nose of grapefruit and white citrus blooms. Light to medium body with light intensity flavors that are somewhat generic, but a nice spine of acidity and some mineral effect help raise the interest factor. Versatile, but not so memorable. 4+9+14+7= 84
