lightweight quite simple pinot with lots of fruit and really very drinkable

5/15/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

mature with dusty tannins and quite lovely, this is great value from an excellent vintage

5/11/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

not the most complex of wines at this stage but it has a wonderful balance to it and is very refreshing and moreish - love it

5/11/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

lovely wine with its tannins pretty much resolved - great value and good for a few years yet!

4/28/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this was very closed, even on the second day - rated as it is today - leave for many years

4/25/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

pristine chablis - outstanding and may well improve

4/25/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

still going strong - delicious and so very refreshing

4/25/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

quite golden now and certainly mature with an edge of oxidation - a bit too much for me but I am sure some will love it

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

the last of my bottles and without question the most delicious - mature without any hard edges and with the fruit still shining through, this was excellent - would be good for a few years yet

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

the last of my bottles and for me, drunk just in time, this is lovely but the so-called 'mushrooms and forest floor' are dominating now as it loses its fruit

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

not much change since my last bottle four years ago - not particularly complex or long but this has a lovely balance to it and is incredibly easy to drink and refreshing - delicious!

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this does pour a lovely salmon pink and while quite moreish, I'm not sure it is worth the price

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

drunk alongside the 1990 Trotanoy, this was a bit of a disappointment on the night - not very expressive at all even after quite a long decant, I will leave my last bottle for a decade or even more

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

drunk alongside the 1990 La Conseillante, this was much the better of the two - certainly mature and firing on all cylinders - when Trotanoy is good, it is very very good - sensational wine

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

certainly mature and with a distinct sweetness, this shows the heat of the year and really is not to my taste although clearly well made

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

quite a deep golden now and a hint of oxidation although still quite drinkable - may have been an odd bottle

4/23/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this bottle was quite closed compared to the previous drunk a year or so ago - would be inclined to leave the next for a few years

4/16/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

delicate and sweet but not overpoweringly so - could do with a tad more acidity - it'll be interesting to see how it develops

4/14/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

fabulous - I don't think I have ever had better

4/14/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this is drinking quite beautifully now even though the nose remains a little reticent - quite a subtle wine and all the more lovely for it - will be sensational in ten years

4/11/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this is drinking nicely now - a lovely example of a standard chablis - good value

4/10/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

lovely bouquet - nice & easy drinking although the acidity is still quite pronounced

4/10/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

fabulous pinot noir - and for me as good as it gets outside of burgundy - probably at its peak - delicious!

4/9/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

pale and lively with just enough oomph - wonderful aperitif - good for a quite a few years and may well improve

4/8/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this is a big wine and appears to be approaching maturity although it seems a bit disjointed at the moment - definitely needs food

4/5/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

the wine poured a pale pale yellow with absolutely no sign of premox - lovely although I feel it is missing some of its length and lift as it ages - probably needs drinking

4/2/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this needs a little time in the glass to settle, then lovely bright red fruits - very easy drinking over the next three or four years - great value

4/1/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

more of the same - lovely!

3/31/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this bottle was really singing tonight - certainly mature but so delicious and complex but with a distinct lightness and freshness to it - lovely

3/31/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

the last of my bottles - fabulous bouquet and while the attack is lovely, the fruit quickly fades - needs drinking

3/30/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

delicious wine - not at all overbearing as some Viognier can be, this has a lovely balance to it while retaining its distinctive character - sadly my last bottle

3/30/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this has lost its cutting edge and is quite a gentle wine now - still quite delicious but needs drinking

3/30/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

I think my last bottle was a bit of an aberration - this was delicious with a lovely freshness - no rush

3/30/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this has lost some of its vibrancy in the last few years - still delicious, this would go well with some food

3/28/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

lovely stuff! - needs about an hour of air and is at or near its peak - very impressive

3/26/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

still lovely but this hasn't filled out as I would have hoped - I would be inclined to drink this soonish

3/22/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this has a lovely core of red fruits just peeking through the somewhat overwhelming acidity at this stage - should be delicious in a couple of years

3/21/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

pale pale yellow and the most ethereal of wines - I love it and it should get better and better

3/20/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

a lovely balance to this although I feel it needs more time and quite a lot of it - leave for three years plus

3/14/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

delicious, although the fruit is starting to fade - drink soon

3/14/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this has a lovely balance to it and is drinking surprisingly well now - should get better and better

3/12/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

perhaps a little late drinking this with the fruit a tad 'dried out' - delicious nevertheless, it improved over time, even 24 hours later

3/9/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

I now think the bottle drunk a year ago was a bit of anomaly and these were more what I would expect from a 2005 - rich and powerful with fabulous depth but need five years plus - will be sensational

3/9/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

lovely and with such remarkable length

3/5/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

the last of my bottles and drunk in good time - delicious and quite complex although the wood now tends to dominate as the fruit fades - drink soon

3/2/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

easy drinking and seems ready to drink, a bit flabby at this stage and lacking in precision

2/29/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

popped and poured from a half, I think a short decant would have helped - lots of dark fruits, this is drinking nicely but should improve with a little more time

2/25/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

this opened with a tinge of green, both on the palate and particularly on the nose - took a while to dissipate but did and left quite a tight but beautifully made wine - lovely balance to this and while it is certainly delicious now, it should improve with a bit more time

2/24/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

delicious although surprisingly mature - good length, peppery with lovely complexity

2/24/2024 - hargy Likes this wine:

pale and delicate - lovely wine which is probably at its peak
