  November 18, 2017 - Not fully oxidized by any stretch but this has seen better days. Still drinkable and enjoyable but already on the decline. Drink up if you have any left.

  July 4, 2013 - 11th from case and best bottle yet, pale yellow with classic green tinge, distinguished nose showing lovely minerality with citric lift, light/med, round, early acidity now fully offset by fruit, edgy in a good way, should still improve. A classy fine plus (18/20).

  October 13, 2011 - Washington Tasters Guild - 1996 Burgundy Dinner (Poste - Washington, DC): Wonderfully fresh nose of seashells, minerals, lemons and herbs. The palate reminded me of the freshness and energy of a 2008 Chablis and not one with 15 years of age on it. This had some mature tones on the palate with a subtle honey note that was integrated well into a lean, focused body. Great wine.

  January 8, 2008 - The previous bottle of this several months ago was oxidized; luckily this one was in good shape. Engaging nose of minerals, steel, honey and ripe yellow fruit, supported by citrus fruit. Honey, sweet yellow fruit, minerals and good acidity on the balanced palate. Good length. Can be enjoyed now, but a good bottle (e.g. not oxidized) should hold for several more years.

  February 5, 2006 - The nose was reminiscent of a 10-15 years old white hermitage with oxydative aromas but I don't think it had anything to do with premature oxydation at all. The colour was very clear and also the wine developed nicely, showing good minerality (flintstone), the fruit was barely perceptible and all in all it lacked punch and concentration. Even the acidity seemed almost completely gone. In conclusion it's drinking ok but it's nothing special.
