This bottle was rediscovered on a trip to the cellar last night and it called out as a "now or never". It was probably enjoyable in 2014-15 but there isn't much left. Minerality and acidity remain but the bottle died within 20 minutes. As a still wine, it can be used for cooking.

I never intended to age this but somehow I never got to it. Xmas eve with Chinese food, this was very nice. It remained bright, fresh, mineral and citrusy, and still bubbled(!). Terroir-driven. While I don’t think this has improved with time, or will do so, it has held up really well

Was this actually made from grapes? I didn't recognize this as wine, I guess I don't get it. I'm starting to think Jon Rimmermans palate is beyond my comprehension. Minerality? Yes, so much that it tasted like shale water to me. Undrinkable. If any of you want my remaining bottles post a note, I hate to pour wine out but I cannot drink this, nor would I subject my friends to this....

Substantially different than the last bottle. Not sure why. Perhaps because it was a root day if you believe in that kind of stuff?

This was really great, especially for the price.
