September 2, 2023 - PnP. Nose of honeysuckle, Tupelo honey, and light notes of petrol and rubber tire. Palate delivers pear, honey and floral notes with a syrupy texture. Finish of butterscotch, pear tart, and golden apple is nice but seems to die out quickly.
Note this bottle had laid at room temperature for two years so it may have advanced aging characteristics.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 2, 2021 - This wine needs 2-4 hours of air before it unfurls at all. Don’t be surprised if it seems angry at first. After a while it settles into a groove, pumping lemon, saline and fennel from a deep reservoir. When I first opened it there was this giant hole in the mid-palate. Over time it filled it, and gained weight and depth to spare. I suspect a couple of years in the cellar would make a lot of sense, maybe longer. Very dry, so use it like a trocken.

March 17, 2021 - This is very young, so decant for at least one hour. Upon opening it was very thin, almost strident, but after about one hour it opened up beautifully. Other notes on this wine are very accurate. This has the potential to be very good. Glad to have gotten my full allocation and wish list.
