  February 2, 2002 - A medium gold: unusually deep, suggesting some oxidation. Poor nose. Very watery attack. Little character. Would you believe it? The second bad bottle of the night: obviously the second of the second of the second isn't a particularly auspicious date for wine drinking! Though this isn't off, it's just a very bad bottle. Poor.

  January 26, 2002 - Quite pale, but distinctly golden in appearance. Slightly bready, distinctly pinot gris nose - rich and quite spicy. Quite full on the attack. fills a lot. This is a very full-flavoured, almost heavy pinot gris. A bit of acid appears, which becomes a bit harsh on the finish and after. Fair length. A very acceptable, basic pinot gris: not great, but good at the price. Good/Very Good.

  June 29, 2001 - A medium deep yellow straw. Lovely rich nose with lots of pinot gris character, together with some hints of lime and orange flower water. Good attack. Quite light but good depth of flavour. Quite fresh too. Fills very quickly and enormously. Rich and very noticeably spicy on the finish and after. Perhaps a bit uni-dimensional. But very honest and clean. At first I thought it was a bit hard on the finish, but it's actually the spice and dryness giving that impression. Good.
