2017 part of a 3-year vertical
This one is head-and-shoulders beyond the 2015/2016. Ripe apple, slightly honied, wooly, underripe stone fruit. — 5 years ago
Crazy good right-time-of-the-year-for-no-wood French Chardonnay, herbal and melon from nose to finish showing plenty of acid/tannic softly clinging depth front to back (even without wood), hints of some cantaloupe towards the end and a tinge of fresh raw celery throughout the drink. This wine was brilliantly paired with a groovy tart greens-based salad, at my buddy, Geoph Adams', waterfront Black Sheep, in Beaufort, NC. Don't miss his magic moment when hanging or passing through NC's middle cape, which is Lookout (Beaufort being lazy, crazy, cool). Another brilliant wine by Eric and Laure's Queen of Wines (boutique importing and distribution bringing the passion of France straight into NC) so cool!!! — 3 hours ago — 7 years ago
Fresh ripe apricot, honey, wooly, quince, butter roasted chicken, mineral, long finish, m+acid, BOMBOCLAT!! on palate heightened pecorino in cacio e pepe and butteriness of burrata.. just tried it with ragu di pecora... this wine highlights anything sheep/goat!! — 6 years ago
Un "Ned" like beaucoup moins cher mais un peu plus agressif. Sinon on est sur un vin blanc néo-zélandais minéral et fruité — 8 years ago

Exotic citrus, green, a little wooly, medium body and acidity. Good dry Chenin, showing more on the citrus and herbal spectrum now. Impressive concentration. This started a bit simple, and the open bottle was left in the fridge while I traveled for 3 weeks, and when I returned it was singing! 9.1->9.3 — 3 years ago
