January 23, 2019 - SLDS January 2019: Blind. Lemon and pear, banana and smoke. Rich and ripe. Decent length, but this should definitely be drunk now based on this bottle.

October 26, 2018 - Deep yellow gold. Nose of dandelion and melted butter. Palate is lots of mineral terroir and an off-dry element that would make you say ‘Semillon’ if it had been blind. Dry chalky finish. Interesting at first but got a bit dry and monotone after time. Some length and resonance. Definitely ‘different’.

December 29, 2015 - Rich golden yellow. On the nose nectarine, cream, a nice citrus accent and a waxy top note. Fine acid attack with a vibrant fruit core, crisp lift of bitter lemon at the back and long finish. Broad, colorful and stylish. 50 + 17 + 16 + 8.

December 23, 2015 - Frosty yellow. Lemon curd, stone, honey on the nose. Penetrating core of sweet fruit on the palate, filigreed acids, honeyed with a bitter note at the back, very long finish. Complex with a nice narrative from the initial smell to the final finish. 50 + 17 + 17 + 9.
