February 11, 2012 - 14.5% alcohol. This seemed leaner than the previous bottle. Extremely floral on the nose, with a greater degree of minerality showing through. In the mouth, it also seems leaner, less hot than the bottle last May. Aromatic even on the palate, it's got strong acidity and a funky quality that makes it a great pairing for Thai food. B+

July 9, 2011 - It has that GVTMNR lychee character but also plenty of oak so that it's smooth and, in an interesting kind of way, really cloudy. This was exceptional, Joseph Swan really knows what they're doing.
