Enjoyed as pairing to first course of scallop crudo @ Sepia in Chicago on 11.03.2017 — 7 years ago
Vibes like ur fave English teacher from high school-- kinda bitchy but really cool and maybe makes u a mixtape. Last night I had a crazy thing-- earl grey & garlic panna cotta topped w scallop crudo and fennel flower. Not-so humble brag aside I wish I had this wine to drink w it. — 8 years ago
Enjoyed at novelkc. Great food wine. White flowers, white rocks, wax, lemon pith, white grapefruit, green apple, yellow pear skin. Nicely textured, paired well with many different elements of the meal from hamachi crudo to fried okra, and James even said that it went well with the grilled lamb! — 9 years ago
Jaw dropping aromatics of chalk and wet stones and buttery croissant unusually pronounced, out of a wider bowled white wine glass than the white wine Zalto I normally use for this. Good to note. Body is medium plus and has great concentration at this price point, due to barrel fermentation and aging. Poor man's Krug basically and that richness I haven't found at a price lower than this. Perfect pairing with 90 day aged beef crudo and perigord truffle tajarin. Neutral acid cut the mild spice and iodine flavor of spaghetti neri and even worked lovely along with zeppoli with lavender cream. — 9 years ago
Chilled to the recommended 64F and enjoyed with pasta crudo. Refreshing, smooth and well balanced. — 7 years ago
A light easy every day white drinker from a great Sicilian producer. Beautiful light golden color, fruity notes of peach and sweet herbs on the nose. Similar palate of stone fruit and pear, lilting acidity and moderate length. Almost all Catarratto, with a few field blend varietals. Excellent with tuna crudo, basil, and red onion granita. — 7 years ago
5/22/17 - 2015 vintage - Enjoying at Crudo. Bob says it's got some "zip" to it — 8 years ago
This is all mineral and texture, with surprisingly understated acidity (for Chenin). There's some quiet and underripe orchard fruit and just a whiff of honeycomb, but they're bit players to the rocks. I like it, and it was great with yellowtail crudo, but I have no idea whether or how this blossoms or develops in the future. — 8 years ago
Tasted the 2016 on 5/3/18 at Rigamarole in Paris.
On the nose: baking spice, orange peel, lemon jest, baked pear, mandarin orange, red apple. Very fresh on the palate, lemony and rich, great balance. A smooth and bright pairing to oysters with black garlic oil and with the scallop crudo. — 7 years ago
Light garnet in color with some transparency. Cranberry nose and cinnamon nose. Cranberry, tart cherry. I now know what people mean when they say stems and bramble. Very lithe and feminine. Perfect with ahi crudo and fresh burrata with fava beans. Birthday celebration #3 and best wine yet — 8 years ago
Solid, textbook Chablis Premier Cru. Incredible tension and focus while still having a touch of richness from ML, partial neutral oak elevage, and lees action. If drinking now, decant, and preferably wait a couple years; this stuff needs a bit of air and/or time to unwind and right now it shows a little too reductively right out of the gate. Also, the acid is a bit intense even for an acid freak like me. Pours a medium (-) straw-gold hue. Nose of tart Granny Smith apple, lemon curd, smoky crushed chalk and sea spray, slightly underripe starfruit, and a hard cheese rind leesy character. On the palate, it's incredibly linear and with laser sharp focus; with more lemon curd, crushed chalk and oyster shell, underripe starfruit, Granny Smith apple skin, and hard cheese rind lees notes abound. Absolutely screamin' acid and bone dry with medium (-) body that is offered a bit of oily, soft texture from elevage on fine lees with partial neutral oak. Nice length. Intense wine; begs for oysters on the half shell or a bright seafood dish like a scallop crudo or something. — 8 years ago

Sicilian crudo and Austrian vino in Salina. Bello. Fatty fresh fish and acid lemony juice. Match made in heaven. — 7 years ago
