February 20, 2021 - À point from the first sip, with a rich texture and a lovely mix of yellow fruit and savory tones. As it warms up from cellar temperature there is a saline brightness, and the finish picks up a slightly creamy edge. Wonderful now, I would drink any bottles you might have. Don’t miss this stage for the wine.

December 23, 2019 - Very nice and jumps out of the glass as something "natural, Italian". Less of an edgy orange style and more of a white with some skin contact style. Wildflowers, cut dried grass, honeysuckle, dry mineral.
(If it didn't drop a bit in the middle, it'd go from very good / excellent to something even better.) -
