  Still not what I had expected. Let's see what happens to the rest of the bottle.

  This was refined. Had aromas of honey, chalk, minerals and lemons. Its medium bodied layered medium bodied palate has nice verve, highish acidity and a clipped fresh medium long and classy finish.

  Wine comes together after it's been opened. This wine has continually been a disappointment, but now, with some age, it seems to be evolving. Still tart with grapefruit-ish fruit, but with time in the glass seems to blow off some of the weird nuances that I had seen before. Seems to be developing a lingering (good) aftertaste, too. I have about four more bottles of this, and will see how it evolves over the next few years.

  Maybe it's just me, but I'm not tasting what others are tasting. This is a Frederick Wildman bottling, so should be better. Nothing really wrong with it, but just doesn't seem to have much there there. Meh flavor, minimal nose. This is probably the 4th bottle of this that I've had, and it just doesn't seem to get better. <shrug>

  The perfect bottle of wine for early Dungeness crab! Slight buttery notes, with nice lemon accents. Rich palate entry but with clean, bright finish. Only one bottle left- hope to hold onto it and see what it does with some age but will be difficult to do so.
