December 17, 2023 - Christmas lunch with the wine ark boys (Porcine, Oxford Street): Aromas of honey, lemon, a little citrus marmalade note and a touch of fresh herbs, pretty nose. Softly juicy at first, the residual sugar helps with this illusion, citrus, honey, a little textured burr, quite simple. Needs time to gain complexity

December 17, 2023 - It's good... very good... better than good.
Much closer to a Sec than a Moelleux, this Demi is well balanced (fruit and acidity), has a soft-punch of mineral, and lovely notes of chalk on the nose and stone/ limestone on the palate. The fruit is present in the exceedingly long aftertaste. Good stuff!
Eminently fine on its own, and a good partner with soft, double creme cheese as well as a savory onion tart.

October 7, 2023 - Vibrant, with nice acidity and a touch of sweetness. I think these demi-sec are just terrific. Apple, touch of orange, apricot - really nicely balanced.
