  Ordered off the wine list at "M" last night with Kevin and Liz. It was more interesting than delicious. Light gold. Excellent nose of apple, peach, quince and wet stone. The palate was quite reductive and backward. It would have been better left open for 24 hours before drinking. There was delightful Chenin Blanc fruit that seemed to be struggling to come to the foreground. Wonderful minerality and length. Good tension and energy. I would try again, but give it a LOT of air first.

  Excellent QPR Savennières. Light gold. Nose of honey, citrus, & clove. Ripe, elegant palate of pear, peach, and lemon peel. My wife got apple notes in both the nose and palate. Very good length. Refreshing acidity. Nice minerality. Delicious, balanced wine with a lot of varietal and regional typicity.

  Popped for an hour. Light brass in colour. Chalk, guava, lemon curd, graham cracker and stone. Chiseled and stoney on the medium finish, ending refreshingly clean. Steely and focused - although it is a little one-dimensional; very food friendly; and can still handle a decent amount of cellar time. Drink now - 2017.

  From a half bottle at Les Nomades. Bright, clear color and a well-developed nose with a lot of pear and flowers. A lot of fruit on the palate as well, but surpringly dry and crisp, with a long, clean finish. Very impressive wine, paired quite well with a warm lobster and shrimp salad. Would like to try this one again.
