Consumed over 2 days, rescrewed and refrigerated, note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, medium lemon. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with aromas of green apple, pear, and steel with subtle licorice hints. Palate: Dry, pronounced acid, medium intensity, medium + body, 13.6% abv with flavors of green apple, pear, and saline with a medium + finish. Still quite youthful with many years left, slightly out of balance, tartness dominates, to my palate. Can drink now or or over next 5+ years.

Unscrewed and poured, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium gold. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with aromas of pear, green apple, acacia, and toast. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ body, medium , with developing flavors of green apple, pear, and saline with a medium+ finish. Overall an excellent wine excelling in intensity and length, slightly out of balance at the moment - still youthful, needs a year or two to come into balance. (consumed in Puerto Vallarta)

For me this continues to improve. I liked the balance. Slightly sweet fruit up front, with pineapple and peach. Spicy oak adds texture to a decent dry finish. Very nice.

Quite intense on the nose, reductive and intriguing white floral blossom, earthy mineral, spice, and white pepper, and acacia aromas. The medium-full bodied palate has balanced, crisp acidity with complex lemony, grapefruit, and spice flavours. Long, crisp finish.

Nose of talc and river stones, with hints of apple and lime leaf. The palate shows strong, firm acidity and lots of minerality, with light flavours of green apple and cucumber. As the glass warms up, the nose and palate reveal a hint of butter.

Has some geneorosity to it but modern and elegant, light citrus, mild honey and melon flavours. Am drinking this too young, could be really lovely as it rounds out, puts on a little weight and gets some secondary flavours pushing through. Refreshing now no doubt, best years ahead though.

Fresh, young, bright. Lemon and melon on the palate, with oak that is present but not domineering. Represents good value for money.
