  Length & girth
  Completely fills the mouth
  A reminder that all the best apples taste like other, better fruits, in this case, peaches and limes
  Good call on the quinine, Rob Hansult, though I think this is best celebrated, not analyzed
  Minor upon opening, opulent on day 2
  
  On day 5, straight tangerines
  Amazing

  On the nose, kaffir lime, slate, peach more than orchard fruit, and honeysuckle florals. Midwighted and dancing on the tongue with a terrific balance of soil, RS, acid, and fruit. Mouthwateringly fresh with terrific focus and purity. It has come out of the closed phase Seth experienced a few years back. Drinking at early maturity with tons of time in hand. Delicious

  Judging by previous tasting notes, I would guess the wine was shut down. It is drinking beautifully now, a perfect balance of acidity and sweet. No rush to drink it either.
  
  My notes are from day 2 although day 1 was fantastic too. The nose is floral and lovely with wildflowers, honey, tangerine and orchard fruits. The palate is fantastic as well, with a blend of honey, apricot, peach, pear, tangerine, and just a hint of bitter almond. Wish I had more!

  A delight of honey, beeswax, almond, violet, kept in check by a light mineral lemon acidity. Long and complex and outstanding qfp
