Definitely an improvement over my last bottle 2 years ago. Nice smokiness to the fruit on the nose. Great minerality and tension on the palate. Delicious.

I love this wine. Patience has rewarded me. Bought this upon release and I have been consuming 2 bottles a year. This bottle is finally what I wanted to see. Excellent stuff here.
Color. Vibrant yellow.
Nose. Petrol, slate, baked apples, honey, pencil lead, straw from a horse barn, lime skin.
Palate. Baked green apples that have been marinated in lime juice. Wonderfully warm and yummy. Yet the acidity is so unbelievable. Honey coated unripe apricots. Just so fucking good

What a charming wine! Lots of peach and pear as well as some grape towards the end. And there is also a little ’petrol’, not much but adding complexity.

I could drink this out of a faucet, god damn. Pale lemon green in the glass. Wonderful aromas of green apple juice, chamomile, peach and some wet stones. Body is light, but bursting with acid and fruit. When drinking this, all worries go away and I’m transported onto a sun-bathed meadow where the grass smells fresh, the animals roam around freely and everything is ok.

Very nice core of honey crisp apples and ripe pears with subtle honey and caramel notes; acidity and sweetness are fairly well balanced at this young age

I love this wine because its got a screw cap. Never a corked bottle.
Color. Medium yellow
Nose. Petrol, slate, green apple, green chiles, white flowers. There's a lot to this nose.
Palate. Rich character of green apples, limes, vanilla, orange Creamsicle. So yummy

Birthday Dinner at Jims - Wines for Beef Braciola (Jims): Classic aromatics, bit of botrytis, great acid balance to sweetness and a clean lingering finish. A super wine, good value.

Sweetness starting to integrate. Great line of acid. Entering its early drinking window.

Sweeter than we expected, but paired well with seared tuna, fruit salad (moderately acidic), and rice.
