Man, I was psyched to try this again. But, compared to tasting it on release, I found it a significant let down. The alcohol is really really showy. It comes across as far more shrill and high pitched than I remembered as a result. It has some of the same honeycomb and lime fruit, but didn’t hit any of the same buttons for me 3 years later.

I think I got a less than stellar bottle. The cork seemed too dark. And the color was very advanced and dark. Almost orange. Still, there is decent orchard fruit in the nose. Still decent acid on the palate, so still fresh enough, but wow, this does not strike me as a mid-ninety point wine. 4-13-16-8: 91/100. Just read others' notes after making my own. All have merit. The ones that resonated with me were the following: cidery; pineapple; resin; dried candied fruit.

Well this is a wonderful wine! Golden yellow with aromas of lemon, honey, and peach. On the bud, it’s rich and fills the mouth with a nice mineral and tangerine note.

Not as enjoyable as previous years. Seems to be aging rapidly and perhaps is going through a dumb phase.

I knew better than to open this (again) so young, but it’s so difficult to resist
