  Drinking beautifully. Jalapeño. Stoney.
  
  Day 3. Incredibly good tonight. Deliciously reduced like some Roulot Blanc. Flint and snapped stone with all that jalepeno buried in there.

  Medium gold color indicative of the age. Bouquet teases fresh cut grass with green apple. Steely minerality in a medium body, texturally rich, and oily. Puckering acidity that lingers.

  About two years since I brought this bottle back from a winery visit in South Africa, and I think it's improved even more. Nose shows green onion, bell pepper, sea salt, crunched sea shells, notes of anise and clove, too, all on top of white cherries, peaches and limes. Creamy texture but bracing acidity. Laser-beam style stuff. Tart green apples, limes, tangy peach. Complex elements of cucumber water, white pepper, sea salt, minerals, chalk and talcum powder. Wow. This is beautiful stuff – aging so nicely. Not tired by any means, but I would be hesitant to cellar this for more than two more years. Such a cool wine. Sauv Blanc with 12% Chardonnay.
