January 20, 2018 - Much better than previous bottle of the same vintage, closer to 2014. To the nose, white peach, honey, beeswax, and slight apricot. On the palate, white peach, honey, honeydew melon, slight apple, and very slight wax. Slight citrus but nondescript. Expected roundness and smooth mouth feel with shorter-than-moderate length and some wax at very end. Short peak of minerality at the midpoint.
Redeems itself compared to the previous bottle. -

January 14, 2018 - Overall, a disappointment compared to the prior vintage (see note 8/2016 for 2014). Somewhat similar but very muted - probably past prime at over 2 years out. To the nose, slight white peach, honey, and apricot. On the palate, slight white peach, honey, pear, and apple. Citrus seen in prior vintage was all but missing. Only slightly round, smooth mouth feel with short length. I have another bottle so will confirm or clarify.

January 28, 2017 - Lots of acidity and tropical fruit freshness
This is developing nice intensity with months in bottle (screwcap)
