March 6, 2023 - Pop and pour, and run over two nights
oyster shell, citrus, pear, and subtle florals on the nose. Midweighted with good depth and sense of balance. It's stony and a little briny. It is very good, has balance, but lacks the depth and gravitas of other vintages. I don't mean to throw shade, and this is a very good wine, but lacks the something special. Clean finely detailed with good freshness, but is seems to fall a bit flat in relative to expectations.
Day two good minerality, but still comes across a bit flat compared to what it could be. Very good to outstanding, but not a strong vintage for this bottling.929 views

I normally buy all the Clos Electrique I can get my hands on but only purchased 3 of the '20s, as I was nervous about either the risk of smoke taint or that something had been stripped in cleaning the wine up. Especially given that so many other producers in Willamette either chose to not release the wines or to hold them for further evaluation.
