Lovely with ocean and honeydew notes. Light palate but also serious with puckering phenolics and acidity. Drink now or wait 10 years, good either way but will only improve.

Today, 2019 Briords is showing it's Chenin side. I mean, after the aerosol oyster, and mulled green apple, it bares a glimpse of quince. ________ 24 hours later, greatly improved. This is the version that can join an outdoor session on the coast. It's more casually drinkable this way; with terrific mineral grip. There once was a time when I might have misjudged its rather closed presentation yesterday as "oxidized" or infirm. Nope. It wants air, or another 5-10 years in the bottle.

Really nice again. Served with oysters, a fine combo. Complemented the salty ocean richness very well.

Perfect with creamy seafood stew, and to finish the bottle on its own. Apple, pear, hint of lime. Good salinity to go with seafood

Excellent. Piercing, concentrated, acid, wow. Nice match for cod. (91+).
