Apple, pithy lemon, limestone, honey and whiffs of buttery oak. Great acidity and lush texture.

Excellent for the price. Oaky and light. A little tinny but would get again. Curious to see how it compares to the older cI tags.

Needed to add a photo of a labelled bottle. Tastes the same as a few days ago.

Very oaky, but tasted oak with little vanilla. Good minerality, reminiscent of a Bourgogne chard

Rich in vanilla. Woody aromatics. Had to contrast with RTR's Sans Oak 2013.
