A lunch for the folks who have been extremely generous and influential in my wine journey. Salon always needs 20 + years from vintage. As expected no where near maturity.A shy nose of apple , pear and flint. On the palate more round than linear. Acidity is very good but not as assertive as some previous vintages .A coiled spring.

A gorgeous nose. Yellow flowers, corn, a super light toast. On the palate seamless and delicious and polished. A hint of oyster shells and limestone. This is in a superb place right now

Mar 30th, 2022A slight light whiff of coffee on the nose with corn and lemon oil. A sweetish core. Surprisingly under but great balance and purity. Surprisingly pretty and gentle.

Aug 31st, 2021A beautiful fresh nose. Limestone, white flowers, hints of the seashore. A clean berry fruit flavor, rounded and achingly gentle but real presence behind it all. Subtle but delicious.

Jun 10th, 2021Very present and correct. Very clear fruit but underlying acidity. Lovely stuff.

Jul 8th, 2019This is really tightly coiled. Lemon (verbena?), steeliness, lime and chalk. Real purity and clarity on the palate but super tightly wound. This needs time but there’s quality there.
