  Age has taken off some of the verve but added more seashell flavors. The citrus has mellow a bit with the sea and chalk coming out stronger. Nicely balanced and delish with Swiss cheese fondue.

  On the nose, wet stones, grapefruit and hints of dried thyme.
  Nice acidity, intense minerality and a long, crisp, lemony finish.

  Drinking very well now. Rippin' acidity, citrus, sea, light dried herbs, and quinine. Perfect with Alfredo sauce.

  Seems definitely not varietal, although this is 5 years old. Crisp, faded fruit, not round, clear clean wine. Paired well with ceviche, but did not seem to have the common corresponding and complimentary acids. Refreshing. I like it but don't understand it.

  Drinking really nice tonight, great wine.Mineral, a hint of pink grapefruit, sweet lemon. Great balance on the palate. Perfect fruit. Not varietal at all. Lime. Very very long smoky finish. Simply superb.
