  August 27, 2022 - Deep gold color. Rich nose of honey, beeswax, and that wooly Chenin Blanc thing. Palate is quite rich on the approach, spicy, and with mouthwatering acidity on the finish. Hints of green apple and white pepper.

  May 29, 2022 - Unbelievable. Bought at auction and wasnt sure how it was going to show, but we need not have been worried. Poured a spectacular brilliant gold, and absolutely exploded out of the glass with honeysuckle, white flowers, and very ripe stone fruits. Exploded almost doesn't do justice to the intensity of the nose, especially after it sat in the glass for 30 min. It has been a long time since I've felt so much power coming from just the nose, I could have smelled it forever. The palate was just in line with the nose showing strong honeysuckle/floral flavors, with the added bonus of some wonderful lemony acidity that keeps the sugar (which is not strong but definitely present) perfectly in check. Amazing all in all

  October 29, 2021 - "I wanna start clapping" (Chicago, IL): I think there's something about how the 2002 Huet corks are bad and lots of the wines are premoxed. Guess we got lucky with this bottle. What a beautiful wine; so fresh and bright with just a hint of wooly chenin character followed by a sunny exposition of fruit. Just mildly sweet, the stone fruit notes are balanced by the acidity and minerality.

  July 16, 2020 - Honey, floral, tropical notes and apricot on the nose. Medium bodied (12.5% ABV) with soft rounded fruit both upfront and through the middle, showing a good amount of complexity with the mix between orchard fruit notes (apple and apricot) and more tropical notes (orange, pineapple and mango). It has good density through the middle and the tart notes and acidity on the back provide good structure. The balance between the acidity and the fruit density positively contributes to overall quality. For an 18 year old bottle, I was impressed by how it's been able to retain acidity and tartness and integrate them so neatly into the fruit profile. Should have a number of years ahead at this level, but I would recommend enjoying it now while the components are so well balanced.

  February 20, 2020 - Beautifully candied nose of mango, pineapple, Opal apple, pear, vanilla bean, petroleum and orchid. Medium plus in weight, it fills the mouth with bright, juicy and mineral-driven acid that carries flavors of canned pineapple juice, green mango, Fuji apple, crushed gravel, white tea, orchid and Aloe Vera pulp. Quite tasty now with another solid 5+ years of drinking.
