July 9, 2017 - From magnum, pleasantly acidic out of the bottle, but little other flavor. With time, the texture rounds out nicely, and you start to get nuanced, well-proportioned hints of honeysuckle and herb. A good wine of considerable finesse. Another magnum in the cellar would do no harm, but I'm happy with the two I've been able to enjoy. I don't understand, however, the kinds of pricing this wine commands in 'good' years. These bottles were purchased at about 60% of regular pricing.

September 25, 2016 - From magnum. I prefer this to the Meal: it's a bit fresher, with brighter acidity. Mild waxiness, not too much. Appealing hint of caramel, not of the oxidative kind. Pretty nice wine, with very good intensity; overall, I'd rather be drinking a good Pepiere Clisson with 10 year on it, with less cost stress. I have one more magnum of this, but feel this batch marks the end of my foray into white Hermitage.

September 29, 2007 - Remmington Norman Offline in aid of Pebbles Project (Le Colombier, London): Deeper, mid yellow. Waxy, slightly oily, lanolin nose. Rounded, slightly oily, peach kernels. texturalloy, this finishes quite abruptly but some residual flavour lingers for some time. Good but not really my style of wine.
