  March 10, 2017 - shared with pat at selkirk manor. i had held onto this bottle for sentimental reasons due to the romantic life story of the proprietors. was also waiting for recent feedback from others which was not forthcoming. finally decided to open this bottle for fear that waiting any longer might find the wine over the hill. this bottle had moved along in its development since last tasted 7/2015. yet, it still showed a charming and classy profile. i agree with those who suggest oyster pairing as this has chablis like characteristics. too bad i did not remember this before opening. color somewhat golden. but, the wine is still fresh, showing citrus, lemon and minerality. full in the mouth. satisfying finish. this is probably at peak and will not improve further. drink up. will seek out current vintage.

  July 30, 2015 - Nez peu intense, avec une petite note de noisette. Bouche tendue et minérale, profonde et d'une grande pureté. Un vin cistercien ;-) Encore très jeune, le vin semble pouvoir tenir encore 3-5 ans.

  November 28, 2013 - first wine of the day on the thanksgiving table at selkirk manor. shared with pat, ellen, giulio and grandpa. served with cantaloupe and prosciutto. exceedingly crisp. perhaps served too cold and too fast to enjoy the fruit. i guess i would agree with others than lemon and lime predominate. tart acid suggests this wine will continue to be drinkable for another year or two. must remember to serve with oysters or other shellfish as this would be the ideal pairing.

  November 17, 2013 - Un vino che sta evolvendo magnificamente e che, alla cieca, avrei potuto scambiare per un riesling. A partire dal colore verdolino, per passare al naso ricco di idrocarburi, continuare con una bocca caratterizzata da una bella lama acida, pur mitigata da una bella glicericità e concludere con un finale lungo di buccia e polpa di limone. Grande bottiglia. Da berne a secchi.
