November 28, 2018 - Mature smell, bergamot, spices; develops quite noticeable taste of wet wool, although still drinkable. Ox.
September 23, 2017 - Pale green tinged lemon.
Subtle understated pineapple, peach, a gentle thread of spice and stony mineralite, some hints of kelp and saline. Acidity quite brisk. A pleasant surprise given how many oxidised bottles I've had.
May 7, 2017 - Lots of lemon and lemon peel, brighter vs my last bottle from the same case (2 years ago). Very good length and balance for a wine at this level. Shockingly, even better the 2nd day.
February 7, 2017 - Oxidised
January 1, 2017 - Given previous oxidised bottles opened this for cooking but pleasantly surprised.
Light golden.
Buttered toast on the nose with some mineral hints.
Palate had pleasant almond butter, with some background hints on lemon, verbena and honeysuckle.
December 2, 2016 - Oxidised
September 7, 2016 - Takes a lot of coaxing to open up then very much marching to the beat of its own drum?
Very reticent nose, jasmine, lactic hints, leatherwood honey.
Initially very reticent palate progresses with air to reveal understated Meyer lemon, lime brûlée, cream, custard, ginger and (maybe I'm being a little fanciful here) rose water and Australian native quandong nuts. One to be sipped over a number of hours as it continues to transform?
February 29, 2016 - Tasted this on release, loved it and bought a couple of cases. Last night we had our last bottle. This is splendid Bourgogne that absolutely over-delivers. I cant recall ever having one that was remotely oxidised. It has taken on just a hint of butter and toast development. It is pure and understated with white peach, lemon and rockmelon fruit. It has good detail, decent volume and finishes dry and minerally.
August 25, 2015 - Compelling wine. Best on day two with plenty of air. Lysergically baroque in structure, the nose and palate offer up a virtual cornucopia of slatey white yellow stone fruit, lemon lime, burnt whipped cream, curd and whey. This stunningly complex bourgogne would best many a village Meursault without breaking a sweat. Can't believe that this is my last of six. Absolutely spectacular showing.
April 17, 2015 - Maturing lemon and lime with some tart apple. Subtle spice. Still showing firm structure. I haven't had this wine since shortly after release, but liked it better back then. I have a couple of bottles left and will revisit again soon.
