This is a wonderful and unique wine. Nice length and precision. Chablis-like mouthfeel, but with more earth and flowers. Paired well with a gorgonzola tart.

Mid gold, herby lemon peel on nose, dry, bright acidity with attractive plump lemon with, yes, curative herby notes.

So good now. I can't decide if I want to try to age my last bottle of this.

Limpid liquid gold, toasty cumin and cooked lemon, dry, pronounced acidity but with a lovely weight of fruit with a wholemeal toasty note.

A bit too sharp should have waited a few more years.

Gorgeous. Clear, light straw colour, delicacy and balance; it was so delicious I dribbled a little bit. Just a little bit.
