  March 24, 2024 - I normally go nuts for this wine but not on this occasion. Still v good and there are plenty of notes below describing what you might hope to find but this one lacked the sheer World Beater status that previous vintages had. Has it gone past it best..or have I?

  March 8, 2024 - Quite exotic on the nose: tropical fruit, ripe pear, but also a fresh lifted mineral quality & some herbs (sage?).
  Full and round on the palate, but with nice supporting acidity and a little bitter kick of mineral bitterness on the finish.
  A quite ripe and exotic incarnation of Giaconda but still delicious and drinking really well.

  April 4, 2023 - 橡木桶带来的、厚重的香草、芝士、甜奶油和白花蜂蜜气息，与清冷的柠檬、柑橘果香各自为战，欠缺统一性和一体感。酸度不算太高，但存在感略显突兀，连带着让整款酒都呈现出一种不够融合的年轻叛逆气质。质地细腻，集中度出色，优点与缺点共存，继续陈年可能会有更好表现。89-90

  March 11, 2023 - JB and SH for dinner: Screw cap.
  Light gold appearance. Peach, tropical fruits, banana, hazelnut. Seemed a bit over-blown? Palate was rich with not much definition. Had its admirers around the table though.

  August 17, 2022 - Very nice. Fresh and pure nose of matchstick and peaches. Crisp and clean acidity. Great price and paired nicely with the scarmoza and squid pasta. Was still decent on day 2
