  May 15, 2021 - This was bottle 5 of 6. One of my favourite white wines in the collection.
  
  NOSE
  Intensity: medium
  Green apple, honey
  After finishing a glass, I took a whiff and smelled apple pie.
  On the nose, it already felt something was lacking compared to previous bottles.
  
  PALATE
  Body: medium
  Acidity: high
  Intensity: medium+
  Green apple, lemon grass, some wheat, citrus
  
  TEXTURE
  It was smooth.
  But this bottle was a bit thin
  Less round compared to other bottles.
  
  BALANCE
  Acidity was sharp and mouth-watering. A bit uncomfortable compared previous bottles.
  
  COMPLEXITY
  Initially it was a bit sour. But the sourness died down after 20 minutes. Not much change after that.
  
  FINISH
  Length: medium
  Slightly bitter finish, fresh apple, lemon grass.
  
  CONCLUSION
  Readiness: Drink now...
  Unfortunately this bottle was really subdued compared to the previous bottles we had. The other bottles were all amazing. But with such high expectations, this bottle was quite disappointing. I have one bottle left. I really hope the last bottle will be like the first few in the collection.
  I didn't give this bottle a rating since it fell short of expectations from previous bottles. I also felt this bottle was not representative of what this wine should be.
  I didn't give a rating for previous bottles here on CT. But they would have easily scored 92-93.
