January 1, 2024 - pears, green apple, unripe stone fruits, salty note, med+ acid. This wine seems not that age worthy and I just don't see it being good in another 4-5 years.

July 29, 2023 - Very high acidity with rocky earth and hard bland yellow peaches; some mouth play on the tongue; flavor-wise, it reminds me of a dry riesling (e.g. Chateau Ste Michelle) but with greater acidity, which I like. This definitely leans more towards your typical white wine than a skin contact wine in my opinion.

January 2, 2023 - on the nose lemon, grapefruit, green apple, pear. Quite complex on the palate, fresh, lots of minerals, lively but pleasant acidity, same aromas as on the nose, great QP ratio.
