Jan 17th, 2019Gorgeous sweet citrus, Meyer lemon, refined acidity, depth and richness while remaining fresh and vital. Impressive.

Jan 7th, 2019These wine continue to impress me. Amazing producer with wines that continue to pants burgundy in blind tastings. This is the estate wine which presents immense value. Flinty, acacias, lemon curd, grapefruit, just ripe white nectarine, nougat, with savoury lees character and woody spice. Medium plus, crystalline acidity gives the palate a sense of salinity. Great length. Great wine.

Lovely minerality and leesy complexity but some powerful honeyed fruit there, with a touch of pleasant toastiness.
