April 23, 2024 - Although this has seen quite some oak it’s fun to drink already. Ripe apple, pineapple, banana, some lime. Finish is a bit too phenolic and ripe but not too distracting. Can’t agree with statements that this drinks like classic Chablis. For me, this has absolutely nothing in common with traditional Chablis except it’s the same varietal.

September 15, 2023 - Pronounced nose intensity with tropical fruits, apricot, lemon, ripe apple. Medium+ acidity and long finish. For young vintage like 2020, its seem like this wine is make to be consumed early or deliberate oxidative wine making style.

August 26, 2023 - Once again this wine has bright fruits like lemon rind and lime. More classic Chablis than modern Chard. I am not a fan but will state that what for it is, this is a well made example.
