I looked at my notes from a previous bottle. This bottle is not recognizable as the same. Straw colour, with lemon, vanilla and a bit of toast on the palate. Lovely drinking right now.

I can't figure out this wine. It has a fair amount of toast on the nose and a strange metallic / oaky taste. Not at all what I would expect. Must be flawed.

The metallic / oaky notes have blown off, but there is still a residue. Crisp, lemony and refreshing. Short finish.

This went so well with the escargot at Kikis last night. It showed character and class.

Showed beautifully again. A real crowd pleaser for its charm and balance. I've been through a bunch of these, and I regret not buying more.

The first was oxidized. This one was ok, but lacked a little luster. Nice structure, decent spicyness, but the fruit wasn't shining.
