This wine has continued to open up and is now drinking really well. Great aromatic intensity and complexity. Still great staying power with a half bottle drinking just as well the next day.

14 months after the prior: The two most recent notes below describe it very well. To that we will add, again: Pale staw in color. Saline, savory, somewhat light, pure. This should evolve very nicely — including in this bottle! (Like another note below, we brought it to a dinner party — it was the ninth of at least 10 wines — and now the hosts will see how it evolves over the next few days.)

Second bottle. Similar to previous bottle but left out ( accidentally) a glass overnight. The fact that not only did it stay fresh but actually opened up more speaks volume as to the staying power of this wine. This wine should have another 20-30 years in it; especially with the Diam closure. Intense, bright saline, mineral and citrus nose. Searing acidity in this wine. Very pale hue. Everything suggests a wine with staying power.

Very nice now but likely to improve considerably. First bottle out of a case. It really should have been decanted. Still incredibly primary, almost unevolved, walking that tight-rope of reduction. Very firm acidity but at the same time the texture is substantial and rounded. The aromas are primarily on the saline and mineral side backed up by a little citrus fruit. This wine could require considerable patience; 5-10 additional years?

Lemon curd and almond. Searing acidity. Core of cream. Fruit is green apple and citrus. Salinity and minerality. Nose of rocks and chalk.
