March 3, 2024 - I found this at the bottom of the cellar and feared it would be "over" given its drinking window until 2022. Pale lemon colour with a generous but fresh palate of green apple and pear, lime, elderflower, grass and nettle notes. A lovely long finish.

April 10, 2022 - Pale lemon, almost watery, with an expressive nose of lychee, gooseberry, lime, peach, crisp, green apple. The palate has a lovely richness with green apple crunch with stone fruits, tropical fruits with an intense lime cordial finish. Top quality Bacchus, can’t remember having a better one.

September 5, 2021 - Bacchus from the celebrated Kits Coty vineyard in the North Downs, and from the magical 2018 vintage. Inviting nose, full of lime, apricot, peaches and some vanilla from the background oak influence. Rich and generous creamy palate, with tropical notes coming through. Fuller and rounder than most Sauvignon Blancs. Yet ends with a crisp and very long finish. A real treat, and a true contender for the best English still wine. Cheers!
