  February 16, 2024 - Good+. PnP that made a good showing on day one and after a night in the fridge, day 2 as well. A very serviceable blend that keeps it real and doesn't try to be anything it's not. For the $23 I paid, it's really good for the price, but I'd not be so happy much beyond that. Will hold 2-3 more years, np. #2 of 4. 12,5% abv. Easily recommended

  September 16, 2021 - Popped and poured a small glass straight off the fridge. Tight and not very expressive at that point. Into the decanter it went then. It needed lots air and to warm up. As it breathed and warmed up in the glass, it started to show some of the same aromatics as before: crushed seashells, geranium, peach, gunpowder smoke. Had to chew on quite a bit to unfurl the texture and layers of the wine on the palate. They were all there, but not as elegantly displayed. It was like watching a movie you've seen previously, but at a lower resolution. Everything is there as you remember, but the granular details are fuzzier. Halfway through the evening, the resolution seemed to improve, but never reached the level the level of clarity in the previous bottle. Left 1/2 of the bottle to revisit the next day.
  
  ABV: 12.5%
  Closure: DIAM 10
  Stem: Grassl Liberte
  Decant: 1h
  Assemblage: 30% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Blanc, 30% Pinot Gris, 10% Silvaner
  
  P.S. Ended up not tasting it the second day as I had other dinner plans that evening, but rather on day 3. The bottle was sealed with a Repour and opened up about 4 hours prior to tasting.
  
  Like many whites, the cold is the enemy here. Chill it too much and it looses its texture, but when it's at the perfect temp, it's round and smooth like a marble, but bite into it and then CRUNCH! It splits in half. You're left with this really interesting contrast. One side of it is smooth and round; the other is craggy with coarse texture on the sides of those ragged edges.

  August 22, 2021 - Geranium, peach, lime zest, underripe elderberry, crushed sea shells, and a hint of gunpowder smoke. Broad and creamy on the palate on entry, but is then focused down by a saline and pectin-laden mid-palate with grapefruit and white peach pith. As that unwinds, all the wine's layers started to separate from each other, becoming sharp and distinct before elegantly fading away to give way to a slightly spicy and saline finish. T.5.6 to T2 to T22 and back to T2 again in a sip. A skilfully executed rack focus, creating and releasing tension in an enchanting way. Incredibly versatile wine. One that can be enjoyed by those looking for something simpler and refreshing, but with plenty of layered flavour for those who may want to probe further. AP 07 21
