  Super pure, lazer-sharp and precise, with notes of citrus, some watered fruit, also some sweet spices, wet stone minerality, some implosive personality, with high acidity, some medium+ body but with excellent persistence of a great wine. Long finish with excellent persistence, complexity and tension. Great geeky stuff with so much life ahead.
  This was one of the most fascinating white wines I have had in a while.

  Ganevat at Chedi: Initially much tighter and less expressive than the Grands Teppes but gradually showed its pedigree. A truly contemplative wine with so much complexity, had the body and weight that only the best producers can achieve. A completely different style to the Grand Teppes, this was broader-shouldered and more powerful, with a greater focus on heft rather than tension. Finish that lingered. WOTN for most, including myself.

  Ready to drink. Solid white fruit, bracing acidity, perfect balance and very long finish.

  Really good again but not sure if expectations were too high, or if I have waited too long since last bottle because the first time almost five years ago was goosebumps good, this time not quite there. A very burgundian feel to this, lemon, tangerine, red apple supplemented by lots of white flowers, stony minerality. A little maturity is peeking through, hints of beeswax and honey.

  Wow was this wine good. Hit all the right notes for me. Excellent cut, but powerful and dense as well. Lots of citrus, but not approaching sweet. Floral, spicy. Awesome.
