October 7, 2020 - Bright stone fruit, sufficient acidity, good mouthfeel, some citrus on the finish. Tastes like a Gavi

July 28, 2020 - Licht strokleurige wijn. Droog met een mooi licht zuurtje. Mineralig. Doet weinig in de neus. Niet heel bijzonder. Afgerond naar boven 3 sterren.

September 10, 2019 - Pours clear, deep lemon. Medium-minus nose, with initial notes of oyster shell, wet stone, chalk and white flowers. Asparagus and a slight hint of tarragon follow. Fruit takes a little while to expose itself, with apricot and pineapple aromas emerging as the wine opens up.
Pineapple is more expressive on the dry, medium-intensity palate, with apricot taking a secondary note alongside the hint of asparagus (which expresses itself a bit more in the finish). The tarragon present in the nose turns into more of a grassy expression on the palate. Stone and oyster shell linger on the long finish, with chalky notes being particularly notable, accompanied by high acidity (a finish very reminiscent of Chablis). Medium-minus body, with a very slight viscosity.
Quality: Very good, with good balance, length and complexity. Can drink now, will probably hold on for another year or two, but unlikely to evolve considerably in that time.
