  I like Graves whites, have drunk few, perhaps with tastes tainted by quality or age. This is a serviceable wine, nice nose, 'creamy' in the mouth. However, to me it lacks clearly defined flavors in the middle and somewhat of a short finish with less taste than I expected. I'm not sorry I bought a few, don't plan to buy more. If there is a change with future bottles - will be next months, I'll revisit the note.
  10/23 2d day opened up to be more pleasant, better nose, nicer finish ... 89+. To explain the difference, I'm the only drinker and forced now to drink not more than ⅓ of a bottle. If this were decanted, would be better.

  Very nice wine that is drinking exceptionally well now. Drank it several days ago, so can only provide the very positive impression it left (as opposed to detailed notes).

  1 of 2, under Diam 10.
  Pale/medium straw. Nose is quite creamy, touch of citrus and grassiness, florals. Nice freshness. Medium bodied, creamy, touch of pineapple, attractive breadth and weight, some grassy notes, butter. vibrant acids, medium/good length finish. Oak is well integrated for me - attractively balanced though perhaps not the longest. Now and next 3-4 years.

  Loads of green peach and flowers, and a little citrus. Very soft and inviting, but without biting acidity. I really like this.

  Inviting notes of tropical fruit, apple, toasted oak and straw. Creamy and fresh mouthfeel. This was a crowd pleaser and good value.
