May 15, 2014 - Good, easy drinking for $8. Lots of citrus and a tart finish. Definite chemical smell on the nose, but the fruit took over on the palate. Quaff now.

Somewhat plush and bigger mouthfeel, but still very pretty and balanced. I prefer a tad more acidity, but at $8 beggars can't be choosers, especially with some age on it.

May 10, 2014 - Man, the rubber coming off the nose is intense. Not much else there to smell -- basically lime-soaked gym mat. Oddly, not nearly as off-putting as it sounds. The flavors include lime and chalk, with the star being white grapefruit, pith included. What it lacks in complexity it makes up for in purity and focus. Finish is fairly short save for some lingering grapefruit. Intensely dry and bright. Should improve or hold on for at least a few years yet. Loses points for the nose, but still a solid drink, especially <= $10.
