December 22, 2023 - PnP, doesn't need any decant. Starts with a beautiful aroma of lemon , pineapple , citrus, minerals and floral. Loaded with flavor showing lemon, pear, pineapple, floral, salinity and minerals. Medium body with good acidity and a smooth finish. Showing really well, but should hold for at least 5 years.

September 10, 2023 - This is in the zone on PnP - I didn’t get any reductive aspects at all. Lots of pear, lemon, guava notes on the nose and palate, backed with noticeable acidity to frame it all nicely. Some caramel notes along with baking spices emerge as it warms and gets some air time. Excellent wine and I wish I had multiple bottles to follow over a few years. This is drinking fabulously right now but no rush to drink up - this likely has years ahead of it and is just entering its early prime window.

May 15, 2023 - Very nice bottle. Pale color.
Balanced, restrained fruit flavors, great acidity, excellent handling of oak.
The exciting edge is missing, though. Maybe there is more to come and some complexity will develop with bottle age.2 people found this helpful Comments (1)
