April 24, 2022 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 to 3 hours --
NOSE: watery mineral; rich; high-toned, but very rich; light pineapple.
BODY: rich, moderately dark golden yellow color; medium-full to full bodied.
TASTE: rich, but a touch watery; little tiny hint of wet cardboard, so maybe just a faint bit of TCA here, but if that's the case, it's sitting behind a presentation of a rich, lemony, buttery Chard. with medium oak presence. Drink Now. -

February 2, 2020 - Mature apple throughout with lemon custard hints. Good weight, losing brightness. Disappointing, given my previous bottle from 4 years ago.
