August 2, 2017 - Lovely. Really showing the saline, almost crustacean, flavours with pungent seaside aromas. The definition of Kimmeridgian. Very nice day two as well. Amazing how this wine has developed In The last 2-3 years

April 20, 2014 - At first, very strong cat pee on the nose -- good concentration and length but not necessarily pleasant! Decanted and left in fridge an hour, improved markedly.

August 17, 2013 - Perhaps more interesting than pleasurable. Nose is dominated by strong, distinct honeysuckle (chevrefeuille), perhaps cat's pee. Good length and weight and acidity. Might leave the last few bottles a few years to see if the wine settles down into something a bit more balanced.

November 26, 2011 - very grapey and a little musty with muted classic flinty minerality. Did better the day after opening.

December 23, 2010 - Thistasted like a confused wine. It was tart, buttery, oaky, all at different points and could't decide what it wanted to be.
