January 30, 2023 - Dominated by petrol on the nose, followed by orange oil, lime, and maybe some chamomile
High acidity with great richness and texture on the palate
Off dry
It's at a perfect spot in its ageing curve but likely has at least a decade of further development ahead, likely more -

June 27, 2019 - on the nose, a slight whiff of petrol with dried peaches. On palette it is quite fresh with notes of honey, peach, and lemon peels. The wine might come off as a bit sweet at the beginning with powerful honeyed notes but it finishes strong with a powerful streak of acidity. The long finish of the wine ends not with sweetness but with balanced acidity that reminds you of home made lemonade. Can go longer but its already drinking great. If you got this wine for ~$25 like I did it is a absolute bargain!

May 30, 2019 - 18k gold color. Not much of a nose, but what’s there is smells a bit like freshly-sliced kumquats. Notes of peaches, peach pit, and apricot, ripe and sweet without being overly sweet. Solid minerality and medium acids to match.Really tasty.

February 1, 2019 - For $25, this bottle over delivered! Lemon peel, lemon curd, limestone, plastic, petrol, and plenty of acidity to balance the sugar. Still has years ahead of it, but this is at its peak for me. Would drink up within the next 2 years!
