Light straw color. A fresh nose with bright sweet lemon, young corn, white flowers, and a chalky minerality on the nose. On the palate some honeyed sweetness, very pure and complex and long. Over time in the glass this is fleshing out and getting lusher. Really good.

This is great. Gloopy and intense with great mouthfeel. A beautifully focused nose of oily preserved lemon and flint. Beautifully rich and detailed. All kinds going on with a really integrated salinity. Great stuff.

Cracking good wine : cx bouquet of mineral, stone fruit, sulphide; racy vital attack of cool, crisp fruit, powerful mid palate, long structured farewell. Outstanding. 93-94/100

a bit behind PYCM but came on strong. A real value Chevy compared to others.

More acid and better balance than expected from a 2006 white burg. Classy juice with a long finish.
