Mixed Bag... (Roberts House, Philadelphia PA): nice simple w burg. lemon oil and green apple. fresh acidity stands up to the oak. not a tremendous amount of fruit, so it gets overshadowed a bit. finish is simple.

Similar notes as last bottle, from about 18 months ago. Apple, lemon but overall lacking in complexity. Not as interesting as hoped. The oak has integrated well and is not a distraction.

Solid but unspectacular. Nice color. Good nose. Some apple, sweeter spice and a touch of dough. Palate is refreshing with some density but lacking in complexity. Nice minerally finish.

A subtle wine, somewhat monochromatic -- impressive given the price pint, but not memorable.

Score still slightly underreflects how outstanding the wine is in the context of the appelation.
