It was another excellent gathering with great folks that all really love wine and good company. We had some fun & unique wines and a lot of luck with the older wines...sadly only one wine was corked...a magnum.

This is absolutely brilliant...the nose is floral and herbal with a saline and mineral. The palate leads with lime, kiwi, green apple, and lemon...the finish goes on and on. It's awash in lingering notes of chalk and a sense of mineralogy that is so clear...yet equally indescribable. This wine is absolutely brilliant now and showed it's best 4+ hours after being opened. Extraordinary!!

There is a delicacy in the intensity of this wine...delicate floral scents, whips of fresh linen, seem to disperse throughout the intensely vibrant fruit notes. Flavors of lime, kiwi berry, lemon, and green apple seem to rise and fall at multiple points though the evolution of this wine on the palate as it seeks to engage all the senses. The finish on this wine seems unending as more keeps climbing into the mind. A brilliant wine that I will look forward to checking in on again in another 5-7 years time.
