  My last bottle of this, and I have to admit that this wine has grown on me. And that is despite some bottle variation. A complex white that has been fun to watch as it has evolved, I would definitely buy this again. Saline notes on the nose, not overly flashy on the palate but something that satisfies - no shock & awe in this glass.

  I last had a bottle of this in July; I haven’t noted this in any of my previous notes, but the color here is a little darker, leaning toward bronze. I have to admit I’m wondering if this bottle isn’t a little advanced. That said, still tastes pretty good, so at this point it’s more of an observation than an actual comment on the quality of the wine.
  
  As I have mentioned previously, not much to speak of on the nose here. But dry and saline on the palate, and a wine that is clearly built for food.

  Nice - this wine is getting better & better, which probably means I consumed my previous bottles too early. A honeyed note on the nose, followed by lively acidity and good persistence on the palate. Very good today.

  A nicely pure Chenin which is well showing its stony terroir, the mineral notes are dominant, otherwise there is some apple. Drunk over 4 days, was good from the beginning until the last sip.

  Lots of promise. Very young. Subtle and elegant chenin. Nothing overdone here. Let's revisit in 4-5 years.
