  Definitely less advanced than our previous bottle one year ago, but still showing its age. The color was a clear medium yellow after slo-oxing for 10 minutes. Lemon and minerality on the nose, which carried over to the medium to plus palate with a touch of green apple. The acidity was very fresh and outran the fruit, and there was a bit of lemon pith on the finish. I would suggest drinking up in the next year or so.

  Dark yellow. Developed aromas of citrus and butter malt. Light and soft on the palate. Has lost some of its vivacity.

  It seems Father Time finally caught up with us with this bottle. When opened the wine was a medium gold color while the aromatics and palate were dulled. The wine was still drinkable but did not have the characteristics of previous bottles, so I will refrain from scoring, and suggest drinking up.

  Decanted for 10 minutes, but more time is better. Chill, but only to 45-50 F. This bottle was a bit better than our last bottle in June 2021 as it did not show as much age.
  The color was a clear medium yellow. There was mostly minerality with some mild aromas of lemon on the nose. The wine had a medium to plus mouthfeel and showed mostly minerality and lemon with a touch of green apple. The acidity was medium to plus and there was a bit of lemon pith on the finish.
  I think I'll give the next bottle a lot more decanter time and see what results.

  Slo-oxed for 15 minutes that allowed the wine to open, and to warm to 45-50F. Not as satisfying as our previous bottle a bit over two years ago (3/29/19) as it seemed to show more age than that previous bottle.
  There were mild aromas of lemon and minerality. It was a golden yellow in the glass, which was evidence of its age. The wine had a medium to plus mouthfeel and showed mostly lemon and mineral, plus some green apple and a touch of spice. The acidity was medium to plus and there was a bit of lemon pith on the finish.
