Part of my bulk purchase of Lynmar wines from a member of their wine club about a year ago (all of their '12s-'15s as well as some '10s and '11s). This doesn't have the customary Lynmar buttery/creamy notes; instead, palate is dominated by citrus notes--grapefruit, tangerine and lemon--which might be more typical in a SB. Backed by wet stones and bracing, refreshing acidity. Surprisingly, the intensity of flavors has picked up on night 2. Very nice effort, although the WE's 97 score seems inflationary (and the $70 retail price tag seems a so-so QPR).

Yum. Crab. Opens up great after 45 minutes cut the richness. Nice wine. Good age.

Plenty of lemon and grapefruit notes, with green apple and juicy acidity. Drinking really well right now.

Not oaky. Lemon. Fruit. Crisp. One of the winery’s best and not the oaky profile of others

Still very nice. Not overly oaky or buttery.
