December 4, 2023 - This hits like a great Chablis. It's sharp, precise, and tense, and it has a lot of acid, but with some air it took on a light creaminess as the minimal (neutral) oak reigned in some of the aggressive tartness. You can feel the electricity energizing this wine. This wine is loaded with lemon and slate, plus a little lime zest. It is just now transitioning from its early, crisp drinking to a softer, weightier place as it integrates. This wine can go years and years and years. So good.

November 12, 2022 - I found this sort of lacking in precision with a kind of flabby mouth feel and not much of a backbone. No distinct flavor profile came to mind. Generally disappointing, maybe a bad bottle?

July 5, 2022 - This was fantastic, though it took a few days for it to completely unfurl. First couple of days it had a really nice Chablis-like character: lemon & lime, seashells & slate, plenty of acid...totally delicious. Day 3, it developed a lovely hazelnutty-sort of richness; still plenty of the acid, but a bit rounder.
