Festival of Phil (Phil's place, Putney, Sydney) : From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of lemon, lanolin. Medium plus intensity acidity, lemon, waxy, smidge of green apple, very slight honey. Okay.

Coravin fun - Alsace, Loire and Random French (My place, Kent Street) : From Coravin. Lemon, a touch of bay leaf and waxiness, there is an underlying savoury quality here as well as a little minerality and honey on the nose. Acid lends juiciness, touch of lemon, textured mid palate grip, waxy breadth, tangy, long, really good.

Lots of lemon and honey. Not unpleasant but would only drink with a creamy dessert or fruit, or cheese. The sweetness is rather overpowering.

As expected travelling very well for a 13yr old. Sweet fruits early but it soon fights with some bright acid which, as it happens, does blend nicely. Oiley bitter kick which I expect will grow stronger over time. Don't be fooled by the seemingly simply sweet fruits very early - this wine is a classic style - and I think will score higher points in time.

Wine Ark Boys supps (Bistro Felix, Ash Street) : Aromas of lemon, honey, almost apricot - hmm, I wonder if there was a little Botrytis here? And a touch of lanolin as well. In the mouth it is fresh with the impression of sweetness from the still vibrant fruit though the wine finished bone dry…on it's journey but lovely.

Stars of the Loire (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street) : A little gamey, lanolin, honey, very slight cork taint and lacks fruit on the nose. Juicy, mouth watering acidity, more fruity on the palate with still with a tiny touch of cork. Not flawed yet but on the way.

Ample et assez sucré, manque de fruit et d'acidité...correct.

Excellent! Nez tres floral, mieleux. Couleur pale claire. Au goût, superbe. Bel équilibre entre sucre et acidité. À ressayer en 2015.

Straw yellow and lite in the glass. Flowers, honeydew, lavender, lime, brett and shale on nose. Lite body and mouthwatering with honeydew, wet stone, lemon oil and citrus pith on the palate. Juiciness overwhelms its backbone. Short finish. Simple and delicious.

Pale clear color. Pleasant nose of wet stone, lime zest, hint of orange blossom. The RS in this is barely perceptible and compliments the acidity. Great mouthfeel, white peach, citrus , wet stone minerality, very pleasant lingering finish.

Delicate, subtle nose - quite a cold sample so relatively closed; smoky mineral front palate building towards some very rich flavours. Excellent.

Trop sucré. Donne l'impression d'être un vin cheap. Pas mon style.

Sweeter than other early vinetages. Lacks the famous vouvray acidity & crisp. Fruity rather than sharp & stingy.

No formal tasting notes, but I did enjoy this wine a lot. It was off dry, which I don't normally enjoy, but I thought the acid balanced the RS nicely.

Très belles notes d'agrumes tout en étant plus rond que tranchant. Un délice avec le lapin à la moutarde!
