October 27, 2020 - Medium golden yellow. Lush and layered nose with pears, perfumed herbs, straw and a bit nutty. Medium acidity (5.5/10) and medium minus bodied. Well balanced palate with citrus rind and nuttiness. Long finish. Drink till 2023.

April 15, 2020 - Golden color, white flowers, straw, honeysuckle and lanolin. Tart lemon cream, lemon zest, white watermelon rind and steely minerality. Lip smacking acidity. Really lovely.

March 25, 2020 - Light gold. A: this opened over three days somewhat, but was less giving than the Amador bottling. Some honeyed white flowers and citrus. F: quite shy and showing more mineral and acid than fruit until the second day. In the end, it gave some creamy textured pear and stone fruit with a bit of honey. Nice showing, but alas I had only one.
