February 14, 2024 - Full-blown tropical bouquet and flavors. Concentrated and complex. Long finish. Drinking beautifully now. Definitely unique and a must try

August 22, 2022 - I keep coming around to the idea that this wine, the 2016 and 2017 vintages, needs a year to come together, the 2016 vintage is screaming great now.
The nose is a basket of ripe but well-controlled fruit, with great white blossom, honeysuckle, with honeyed fruit, with great honeyed notes and melon. The mouth on this medium to full-bodied wine is mouth draping, with great richness, followed by ripe melon, citrus, with green apple, lovely rich salinity, with great mineral, sweet notes in the background, with great tart and incredible saline and weight of apple, pear, melon and grapefruit, with mineral and crazy hay and straw with slate. The finish is long and green, acidic and rich mineral and lovely weight and fresh and tart lychee. Lovely! Drink by 2023 -

September 13, 2021 - Vitkin, Grenache Blanc, 2018 : Bright yellow with green reflections. On the nose, hazelnuts, lime, citrus blossom, as well as hints of iodine. Medium-bodied, with good concentration yet restrained and elegant, this wine features a slightly oily texture from its barrel ageing, with notes of lime, loquat and yellow peach, saline mineral notes, followed by notes of roasted nuts and green apple peel, medium-plus acidity with hints of crème fraîche on the long and dry finish. Excellent, complex wine. 13% Abv. Drink now-2024. 92+

April 19, 2021 - My previous note from a year ago still holds.
Can be further aged probably more than 3 years. -
