July 29, 2023 - This is still drinking beautifully. I was amazed at how it still has a fine bead to it. Has cellared so well, what a wine, especially given the price of this when it was released. really well in balance, sadly this is the last bottle, I should have hung onto a few more.

May 18, 2022 - Nice pop still in the cork and still a slight fine bead that is quite evident on the palate. Light golden hue. Nose promises a lot, with quite a complex bready lemony nose. Earthy, reductive flavours, but the acidity is really dominant and not really meshing.

August 31, 2021 - Vegetable notes immediately upon opening the bottle. They went quickly away and revealed the expected autolytic nose. Very nice. Strong mousse after 25 years. Balanced mouthfeel and long finis. Perhaps for the first time the acidity didn’t dominate.

July 10, 2021 - Dry cork which was narrow at the bottom. The bubbles were almost gone. Nice golden colour. Strange aftertaste
