April 13, 2024 - Beautiful. Some petrol, ripe apple, kiwi, honey, melding perfectly. Long mineral finish. Will be stocking up on recent vintages!

March 5, 2024 - See previous note from three years ago, this has added complexity, in particular on the nose where slight petrol elements have developed.

February 3, 2024 - Aromas of crisp green apple, bitter melon, apricot, lime pith, and faint tarragon. Medium bodied with slightly round, maturing acid that starts a little juicy and finishes with a fine point. Flavors include lime and mint sorbet, tangerine, bay leaf, saline, and white pepper. Pretty sure this has a small amount of residual sweetness, but it finishes dry. This has evolved slowly but surely. I imagine it’ll continue to evolve without declining for another five or so years.
