Quite light straw colour . Green apple , lemon rind , white flowers and wet stones . On the palate high acidity balanced with hint of sweetness . Green apple , lime freshness , cool stony notes , good length and balanced alcohol . Simple but effective . Drink now but no rush over the next decade I should imagine . — a year ago
Another stunning nose. Apple. Green apple, barely ripe pear and stunning vivid minerals. Hint of smoke. Good breadth to the nose. Palate is ripe and rich but has such cut and minerality. Silky yet structured and just the mildest, complimentary hint of oak. Very very juicy. Complex, jagged minerality and some caressing barely there apple fruit. Long, even some lovey finesse and wonderful purity. Nose develops some woodsy, tree bark aromas after some minimal air. Also some lovely spice. Like an incense spice. Terrific depth. This is special. — 4 years ago

Nose: midseason cherries. Spice. Maybe cloves.
With air some savoriness, lilacs. More Burgundian.
Palate : sweet midseason cherries. Hint of licorice. Bracing acidity.
In an odd place now. Not showing it’s usual exuberance. Let’s see where it goes.

A perfume. All the better wines have a perfume in 2022. Persimmon. grapefruit, cardamom, clove, spice. Herbals. Stunning. Ripe but juuuuust ripe. That is a winner. 9.7 nose. Wow. acidity. Just an exciting vintage and what depth. Good dry extract. Long and so elegant. Edgy wine. Gorgeous and so pure. Such energy. So long. Stunning. Light and yet so dense. Really nothing like it. — 3 years ago

Confectionary nose that is teeming with energy. Awesome minerals, sugar snap peas and airiness. So clean and intense. Awesome. Has that 19 lift. Rich, yet also so energetic and crisp. Has terrific fruit intensity like apricot and kumquat but finished mineral and shows its limestone footprint. So good. Lovely tension between elegant richness and intense minerality and crunch. — 4 years ago
So so intense, clean mineral lines & voluminous on palate-tasted blind my friend thought Chardonnay. 50 shades of apricot, a squeeze of petrol at end of long finish. Enough padding to be also Uber enjoyable. — 10 months ago
What a drop dead stunningly profound wine. Just so brilliant. Nose is all elite plum, black raspberry, mid season cherries, sour cherries, black cherries and lovely tree bark and a hint of herbals. So complex and so pure. There is a delicacy and elegance to the nose that is stunning. Also some citrus top notes. Palate is at once round and but also has terrific energy from what seems like stem inclusion. So nimble and pure. This has serious structure and the fruit in the palate is sweet but also high toned and cooling and one can tell this is a cool vintage wine. What an epic finish and such refined tannins. This also needs to breathe. And it will improve and wow what a wine. Let’s see where it goes. — a year ago
No formal notes. See @Lyle Fass review. Stop overpaying for burgundy, buy this instead… — 3 years ago
Gorgeous nose. Fresh mowed grass. Peach, apricot, minerals and some vulcanized rubber. Very petty. Amazing how sugar changes the whole equation. Nose gains depth and breadth as it airs out. Palate is lights out with unreal fresh layers of fruit, peach, apricot and white peach. Nose gets more evocative and blends limestone and vineyard peach. Such a summer wine. And likely great with food. Dense, light, nimble and just the right amount of barely there sweetness. Outstanding. — 4 years ago

Lovely, perfectly balanced. Just the right amount of wood for just the right amount of brioche and lemon curd. I’ve been saying it for a while - German Chardonnay is where it’s at. — 8 months ago
