November 29, 2022 - Bought a few bottles of this based on the strength of previous vintages and haven't been impressed thus far. Have been sampling from one bottle over the course of a few months and I think this is finally turning a corner.. notes of hazelnut, golden apple and smoke on the nose and on the palate a fresh, mid-weight crisp apple and lime - probably a tad too much acid but let's see how it develops...

November 1, 2020 - Ripe apple, honey and rubber on the nose. Palate somewhat flabby with no real texture to speak of. There is a decent minerality.
