February 5, 2024 - This is still very young, reductive, with a lot of lemony acidity. High intensity, medium weight. I would leave any unopened bottle alone for several more years.

August 17, 2021 - Lovely golden colour. Mineral and lemon citrus nose. Nice rounded mouthfeel. Good acidity and length. Honied notes. Lemon fruits. Much more integrated than when I tried this in 2020. Still a strong ripe note, but not as prominent. Really good length/persistence. Working really well as a richer aperitif. I'm sure this would be great with seafood - for the citrus, but almost the minerality which is almost saline to me. Really good stuff.
