  April 22, 2023 - Nose of bright lemon acid , ocean minerals of salt and piercing integration of tropical citrus. Palate is same as nose that is refreshing with halibut poached dish with Mediterranean olives, zucchini , and herbs.

  April 22, 2022 - Yellowy green in colour. Lime seaweed lemon and stone fruits on the nose and after time hints of butterscotch. Some weight and viscosity on the palate but not OTT and seems quite open and expressive with a core of savoury white fruits with lively acids and salinity. Very interesting, quite complex and serious. BTG from Zalto Universal.

  January 11, 2022 - This is not a "great" wine. At $7/bottle on "closeout", it is an amazing QPR. Nose waxy, slightly aromatic and floral, pear. Palate similarly waxy and orchard fruit - pear and apple and a bit of white peach. Finish not all that long, some mineral, a bit of acid (if not enough for me). Great for the table on a weeknight. This has enough complexity and seriousness to be interesting, but it's not got the complexity ro depth of "greatness".

  February 5, 2021 - I paid double the price so factor that into the review.
  
  Appearance - clear, medium, hay.
  
  Nose - youthful, medium plus intensity , clean, toasty notes, popcorn, kernel notes, buttery, maybe a browned cooked apple you can pull out. Toasted pecans.
  
  Palate - acidity pops, sour apple, cinnamon, pepper, young and fresh, feels alive in mouth, medium body, balanced, medium alcohol, finish is medium plus, alcohol integrated. Dry.
  
  Wine is less about the fruit and more about the oak but in a fresh way. Doesn’t taste old but has the structure to pair with some heft. Not a light fruity wine for summer. Nice match for cheeses, meats, olive oil and spice. A tapas wine.
  
  Nice wine for money but I paid $25 during the Covid. I’m not running it to get more but it’s nice.
