  January 23, 2024 - nine days, nine years in reverse; 1/19/2024-1/27/2024 (lake erie basin): 9% abv. AP 36. EYE: bright, straw gold with a glance of green; a tall pour produced a tissue of atomized gas, reluctant to leave solution. NOSE: subdued. Steamed almond meal yields to maraschino, chervil, lime peel, and pear. MOUTH: intense, large, and explosive flavor, of pome/citrus and wilted spring herbs; unabashed, state theater stage drapes of sweetness. Active cascades of ripe, yellow, grape glycerin join bulging acidity. As the event gathers and crests, invasive relief arrives, stiff lashes of cured lemon-orchard litter—threshold nutritional birch, blonde tobacco/cinnamon oil, and thyme. Notably absent are mineral and stone sensations; no struck edges of quartz, no petrichor, no chalk—I suspect it lies under all the botany. In its weight class this is a bruiser, and fresh—it tastes half the stated age. Suburban. Semi-embalmed. If sweet-tart GG could exist ...

  November 30, 2019 - Brilliant acidity, only moderate sweetness, this is electric and refreshing Drink now for sheer excitement, but keep a few for the long haul, as the balance is spot on for serious aging.
