August 28, 2023 - Nice notes below, this is for the adventurous, leans almost Savennieres-y, with some haystackedinabarn vibes, lots of acidity, a medium-bodied lush/depth. Lots to chew on.

March 18, 2023 - I liked it better last year; but this still shows quite well. We decanted it for an hour and it was still a little disjointed. After 4-5 hours, however, it found its place.
Barnyard, autolytic yeast, ripe apples, ripe pears, wet stone, oxidation and a hint of chenin funk on the nose. The nose in particular is funkier than I remember from last year. The palate, however, is quite enjoyable. There is much less funk and much more fruit - the same apples and pears from the nose. There are also oak flavors that were missing from the nose like smoked wood and vanilla that go a long way toward balancing this out. While they play a background role, they are certainly welcome. More mineral on the finish with wet stone and salinity notes.
Medium + body with zippy medium + acid. Given that I enjoyed this more last year, I am divided on whether or not to say drink now or age it. But I am going to say it's in a mildly dull phase, and that two more years wouldn't hurt.2 people found this helpful Comment -

September 13, 2022 - Yellow stone fruits and some florals. A bit of a waxy texture, with very good acidity. This probably should have been decanted, as I feel this was trying to give more.

August 20, 2022 - A wild wine! Funky, slightly reductive nose. Salty, powerful, and savory on the palate with a strong bolt of acidity framing everything perfectly. Brilliant stuff.
