Really terrific. And nothing like many 18 whites I've had. Slight reduction that's appealing (to me) and blows off quickly. Rich fruit/ depth- density with character- balanced and poised- A ball of energy that bodes well for future. Finishes with spices - umami- salinity- that lingers-so good -

Cracking good and I dare say if served blind nobody would guess 2018 vintage. Beautifully balanced, easy to drink, there's a grace here that's remarkable. One taster said he got goose bumps from it, so cue Larry David it's "pretty pretty pretty good."

Decanted and consumed over 2 hours, which brought out the acidity. Light-moderate aromas of citrus, flowers, and pear. Similar moderate+ flavors, hint of spice, and strong acidity on a lingering finish with suave texture. Moderate+ complexity. Really enjoyable now, with a long life ahead. 94+

I didn’t revisit my tasting note from the last time I tasted this wine but it was remarkably similar. Hint of reduction that blows off quickly, revealing a rather fleshy, broad and somewhat tropical, full-bodied, high amplitude wine with just enough cut. Ample structure suggestive of long aging potential

Consistent. Quite enjoyable now with an hour+ decant, but better in 3-5 years.
