I had read a number of notes several years ago about this wine being closed, so left it for a bit to evolve. Well this bottle sure as heck was not closed. It was actually still quite primary, with lots of white peach, green, leafy elements, and a notable fruity sweetness. There's good minerality here as well. It sure isn't suffering from its screw cap closure!

Had it with a creamy mushroom pasta dish. Similar notes to last time, paired well with the dish. I find GVs are very flexible in pairing with various types of food.

Closed as hell. There's some fruit and herbal flavours that come out with time, but none of the power, depth or sheer energy this had on release. Hands off.

Tightly wound and unyielding initially, but with time this opens nicely to show really pretty aromatics of white fruits, green beans and flowers that lead into a palate that' incredibly streamlined and precise; full of bright fruit and herbal notes with really refreshing acidity and a long finish.

Spice and mineral on the nose, with good fruit weight on the palate. Works at $22.
