Obviously a great wine but also very hyped and maybe too highly regarded. Tasted at a 2022 Bordeaux Fair and it surely was delicous and quite mesmerising for what it was. But it just lacked that extra panache. — a year ago

Way too young but it will develop into something quite remarkable! Bit darker than your average red Burgundy, wild strawberries, cherry, black raspberries, black tea, liquorice and spices. Highly concentrated and delicious. — a year ago

Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish. — a year ago

Maybe a bit too old but nevertheless a delicious experience - caramelised notes, dried cherry, figs, spices and vanilla. Smooth and full bodied albeit lacking some acidity. Finish filled with dried mushrooms and chicken stock — a year ago

Smoky, slightly reductive, crisp apples, fragrant lemon peel and quite a bit of body. Nice balance between a smooth and creamy texture but still stringent and quite sharp - wonderful Auxey-Duresses Blanc — a year ago

Nice and balanced Chardonnay with golden apples, fat peels of lemon, some orange zest, cream, butter and very refined touch of vanilla. Nice acidity and not too heavy. — a year ago

Absolutely incredible. Baked apple pie, crêpes with lemon juice, pear juice, toast, roasted almonds, butter, white miso paste, lemon grass and stemmed ginger.
So much power on the palate with a full body and intensity. Incredible — a year ago

Youthful, fresh and very fruit forward with spiced oak notes. Dusty tannins and a slight grippy bitterness - a bit young but very drinkable. — a year ago

9.9

Such elegance and poise. Like a strong and muscular ballet dancer - it has the power to punch through but holds it back with such finesse. Dancing on the palate.
7 years of age - could easily do with 10 more, but already now it can do this. Highly complex and so so so refined. — a year ago

Beautiful “entry level”-wine from SLWC - however it’s very very young. Decanted for 4 hours and really opened up but shouldn’t be opened until 2026 earliest. Cassis, bramble, dark cherries, dusty tannins, mocha, mint and spices! Very bold and yummy — a year ago
