December 8, 2023 - Not something to rave about. It is on the leaner side and doesn't offer much exciting elements. Something that would pair well with food but not something worth contemplating.

platpeeps Does not like this wine: 83 points
June 13, 2023 - Minerally and very austere, savoury and dry. Acidic, brackish with a faint sulphury note it lacked fruit and the only saving grace was a coating of butter on the mid-palate. Thin, one-dimensional and showing poorly. CHP 83 pts

Teaky Likes this wine:
May 27, 2023 - Popped and poured over 3.5 hours nise was quite funky which my wife actually said was just heavy yeast, this dissipated over time with sour apple also showing on the nose, flavors have this plus some lemon, acidity really showed after a couple hours, was a little harsh in the mouth but not in a negative way, medium length finish, nice paired well with fish and chips

April 15, 2023 - First bottle from a case bought a few years back following Neal Martin’s raving review. Pale yellow, pronounced acidity but well integrated, precise, feels like 3g dosage but actually it’s 8g so this must be seriously lean to start with. Well done in that sense as the wine feels very cohesive.
While this is pleasant to drink if you like your wines more on the lean side, I am not getting much depth or excitement here, but then I strongly prefer BdN over BdB in general. Drink at your leisure over the next 10 years.4 people found this helpful
