November 27, 2021 - Light golden yellow. Citrus and apples. Great acidity and limestone and rock minerals on the finish. Hints of key lime pie. Lovely phenolic ripeness, balance, and energy. Some oak, but nothing too obtrusive. This may get to 95 points. Air pressure at time of tasting: 29.93 Hg

November 22, 2021 - Very interesting flint and mineral nose with a mix of citrus and apples. This is like drinking liquid rocks. All the acidity is pushed to the background by the saline minerality but it's there and strong. The fruit returns to the fore at the finish and is wrapped by limestone, salt, and rocks. One of the more interesting wines I have tasted recently. For the patient and cerebral. 95 point potential

December 13, 2018 - HDH December auction; 12/13/2018-12/15/2018 (Chicago, IL): Extremely reduced, perhaps almost to a fault, but at the end of the day, I'm fairly tolerant of it, so no huge complaints from me. The palate shows an intense flinty character, but doesn't quite have the right intensity on the palate to stand up to it. It's certainly a lovely wine, with plenty of minerality and flint, but I'm not fully confident this is one necessarily for the ages.
