May 4, 2024 - Medium pale greenish gold. Medium toasted barrel, lemon, green apple, white peach, white flowers, hazelnut, English peas, honeycomb and minerality. Medium-full bodied, high acidity, medium structure, medium alcohol and long astringent finish. Fresh, precise and elegant. Edgy palate with some tensions. Delicious.
Perfect to enjoy now, and plenty of potential to grow in the next few years. I would recommend to let it breathe for 2 hours prior to drinking.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 31, 2024 - As advertised this needs a good 3h to start showing and probably 4-6h to be in primetime.
Drinks really nice now but pretty well coiled and layered. Green apple, finely grated lime meringue/key lime pie, hints of graham cracker and lovely acidity. Lots of flinty minerals too. Should do very well for another 10+ years.2 people found this helpful Comments (1) -

December 12, 2023 - Easy note – no reduction just pure seduction! Excellent showing with a Wildwood (a PDX restaurant from yesteryear) crabcake.

November 9, 2023 - Always a mouthwatering and reductive nose. Clean stone fruit, minerals, and flint on the palate. Had a surprising tartness on the finish, which I haven’t experienced before. Always a joy to drink X-Novo though!
