October 29, 2023 - It’s a massive wine, full of charred oak, almost reminding me of bourbon, peaches and honey. Oily and full on the palate, with just enough acidity to stop it being too much

May 30, 2023 - What an intense, powerful wine. Definitely not your easy drinking, quaffable one.
The bouquet has some vanilla, but the luxurious new wood blows of quickly and more peach evolves with jasmine and honey notes.
Overall it is full bodied and has quite some length, I think it has at least a decade of life ahead and does not need to fear any high end tasting flight. -

May 6, 2023 - This is a lot. Massive. Lichi, honeysuckle. Some oak. Very well made. Not our cup of tea on it's own. But with difficult food match like Peking duck, is stands up very well. Few wines do, in my opinion. So we liked it, but will not necessarily stock up.

February 13, 2023 - Such an opulent beast. Nose of peach, minerality and oak. Oily, opulent, fruity and spicy on the palate. It's a sipper for sure. Mellowed out a bit day 2, but still lovely and rich.

December 15, 2022 - Full-speed ahead with this gorgeous white Rhône blend - sexy as you know it, seamless & seducing. Rolling on a strax-yellow, emerging golden appearance. Nose is distinctive NR white, fruit-driven, pleasant and true to its origin. Palate is dancing the lambada with French temper, rolling stones with yellow apples, apricots, peach, hazelnuts and loads of oak (initially). Palate is full-bodied with surprisingly vivid acidity, buttery with flavours as per nose, complex & mult-layered while finishing on a superb note! Ravishing!
