  Remarkable again, if not even better than a year ago. I think the early low scores here are out of context since the wine probably wasn’t ready. I’m going to have to invest more into this style of wine.

  Read Fingers notes below. He/she pretty much nailed it... twice. For my small part, I really enjoyed its differences.

  Notes on the second night open. The bouquet has expanded a little, there is more oxidative character and nutty complexity. I think it has come up a rung or two on its ladder and I'm going to love this even more in another year. 5+11+16+9= 91

  Medium gold color with good shine and clarity. First whiffs are of nutshell and toasted meringue with lighter notes of citrus rind following up. Pucker City on the palate with very racy acidity and a mouthwatering tartness. Baked green apple, pink grapefruit, and mixed nuts in the flavors. Really interesting wine and my first take on the grape. I can see why these age for awhile and this has a long life ahead of it so I'm glad I have a few more. 5+10+15+9 = 89

  Very nice. Unlike what the other posters said, this did not seem oxidative to me at all. light apple, melon, lychee, white daisy on the nose. Taste was light apple, passion fruit, lychee, melon, huge mouth watering acidity, Long finish with a touch of bitterness and heat.
