Bought 3b for 11/b CAD from the BCLDB last week (2/b discount, 15% sales tax); this is #1. Light green/gold; reticent nose that reveals slight lemon/lime citrus; light citrus, some saline; crisp, short. Held well in frig over 24h, 48h. Consistent notes for bottle #2. Simple, perhaps good with simple shellfish. Not a re-buy. Stored vertically (screwcap) in a dark condo closet (room temp in the Lower Mainland)) since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable- when considering quality, age, and price in the BCLDB environment (high taxes, near-monopoly).
