June 22, 2020 - Initially a ton of reduction and funk. Takes 20 mins in glass before that blows off. Once it does tho, it’s a beauty loaded with red apple, pear, seashells, mineral/flint. Palate was again an apple orchard, with brilliant acidity. Age shows through a creaminess that with air becomes a waxiness, that persists into a lingering finish.

June 21, 2020 - Initially super funky note (likely due to the level of sulfur/reduction) almost funky cheesy. Eventually blossomed to pretty flintiness with a backbone of lemon/apple with great acidity and the perfect amount of waxiness with additional air. Awesome bottle!

May 9, 2020 - It took three hours plus to get going. Lemon oil, citrus, seashell and minerals. Wonderful precision and balance. It gained richness in the glass.

April 18, 2017 - Golden color. Very little on the nose. Palate is consistent with the color. This is oxidized. Honey and toffee with yellow fruit. A little sherried but not undrinkable. Mediocre finish. This is on its last legs.
