December 10, 2023 - Decanted. Now 1.5h after decant. Shy aromas of flint, apples, minerals, and a bit of grapefruit pith. Palate w flint, barely ripe tart apples, flint, minerals, and herbs. Med+ body w excellent acids. Excellent depth and concentration. Nice finish of fruit, flint, amd minerals. Tastes as is there's still more lurking underneath. But drinking well now. 90+

September 3, 2023 - As per previous note. Really good stuff. I would add that the wine would benefit from some air. I think it was at its best after c.1.5 hours. Excellent value for money.

July 29, 2023 - Decanted. Now 45 min after decant. Nice aromas of golden delicious apples, a bit of just ripe pears, minerals, and a hint of wet wool. Palate w ripe apples, minerals, and a bit of herbs. Medium+ body with nice acids. Nice finish of apples, minerals, and a nice hit of lemon. Nicely balanced with good depth and weight. If blinded the nose could have fooled me for pinot blanc (pears) or chenin blanc (wet wool) but the palate is chardonnay. Lacks complexity but really enjoying the balance, depth and acids. Nicely done for a bourgogne level. 89+
