  Second of our ABC wines of the evening and just as well we chose this one to go with the food, a creamy mushroom chicken dish. There was a distinct floral edge and wifey found it a tad sweet after the food. Again, a bit like the Chardonnay, something a bit different, but then we rarely drink Pinot Gris blends so totally understandable.

  Interesting blend. Drinking well and enjoyable. Try next bottle a year from now to see development.

  Much more overt oak and malo influence than I recall, but still fairly balanced and enjoyable. Will revisit in a few years, I think this should continue to improve with age.

  Terrific pairing with chicken apples and cream à la normande, celery root purée, and sautéed spinach

  Short note - oak, vanilla, quite floral, honeysuckle, pinapple, red apples, lemon, cocos, medium+ acidity, medium finish with grapefruit, very good quality, keep for a couple more years, 90p with higher potential in future
