  April 5, 2021 - Not overly advanced in colour but was very chill on opening and I thought on taste it had lost its finish , so wrong , it warmed up a treat , no sign of excess age on palate , remarkable longevity, cork was in good nick.
  Amazing wine.

  January 25, 2016 - Magnum.
  Deep gold but not overly developed colour.
  Rich honey and floral fragrance. Clean and deeply fruited.
  Powerful but well balanced. Very pure and long. Has softened and is just in a perfect place right now.

  April 21, 2015 - 'Nothing but Chardonnay' dinner with Peter Rosback: Pop and pour. Deep colour. A big, rich bouquet, like the 2004, but with a funky, sous bois note I really liked. Rich and ripe on palate, with tropical and stonefruit flavours, particularly golden peaches and apricots. The oak was well integrated and there was a clear MLF element to the taste. Still decent acidity. Serious fruit weight, structure and length. Broad shouldered. Peter and I both preferred it to the 2004 (but I still rate the 2002 I had last year higher).
