  April 8, 2024 - Looks like I am the first to go here. I got 4 of these last month in my shipment so figured I could give one a spin across three nights. Opened yesterday. At that time, there was an unctuousness to the wine, a concentrated yellow apple that had this cool decadence to it, all of course wrapped up in the typical Kutch citrus. Enjoying again today, using a light chill having taken it from the fridge about an hour ago. Aromatically, a punch to the beak of lemon oil and sliced yellow apple, plus some toast which I would believe is coming from the 20% new wood this sees. Then when hits my palate, it's like lemon highway across it, with both lemon curd and lemon peel. That is pretty similar to yesterday, that kind of unctuousness I tried to describe--it's curd-like. But then when the thought might occur that this could be too heavy or tiring, no way. A rush of lemony acid breaks right through to carry the wine. Then the finish, which has some tangerine, spicy yellow apple and some wet stone. I thought too that there was a kiss of vanilla in the wine yesterday but I don't find it today. This is a killer version of Trout Gulch, and just bottled last month so this is still a young wine but what is already here is a ride of delight--power and yet electric.
