Medium yellow , touch of gold . Fine bubbles , though not a lot noticable in our wine glasses . Bit of development with brioche , orange rind , mocha , touch of honeysuckle and crushed stones . On the palate this is fine boned , elegant, lemon rind , baked pastry , fine chalky notes . Quite high grippy acidity , this is linear and quite direct in style , but enough volume on the palate to cover its bones . Good medium length mineral and crystallised lemon pith charged finish . This is drinking well now but will probably last well over the next 5-10 years. — 2 hours ago
This one, on the other hand, did smack me in the face with a surprising streak of lean almost metallic minerals cutting through. — 19 days ago
No formal notes . Medium lemon colour . Quite a lot of very fine bubbles still . Quite young in appearance. Elegant and relatively youthful with citrus , white flowers, baked pastry , good freshness with mineral, oyster shell notes. On the palate very high acidity , really marked by that taut profile but still enough creamy mouthfeel to make this very complete with a pastry , citrus and mineral focused finish . Very intense and long. Drinking perfectly now and over the next 5-10 years — a month ago
Lime and melon, salinity and wet stone. A hint of peach. Stunning complexity and balance. Outrageously great stuff. — 10 days ago

Sipping Fine Wine
Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, toasty vanilla oak and floral spice notes, no MLF. On the palate flavors of apple, peaches, mango and lemon/lime citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice creamy mouthfeel. Long finish ending with spicy vanilla oak, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A big Chardonnay. — a day ago
