Purchased in 2020 from a reputable Willamette based cellar. Popped cork. Initial impression: Light-moderately reductive nose of smoke/matchstick. Moderate flavors of lemon/lime, with a thin bead of acidity. Enjoyable. I wasn’t sure this would hold up, but I decanted anyway - absolutely the right call because this surged with life. Reductive nose slowly diminished with air and was followed by lemon/lime. Moderate+ flavors of lemon, lime, brown sugar, followed by a tangy acidity that perfectly rounds this out. Full body. Fresh. Moderate+ complexity/moderately long finish. Drink or hold for a couple more years.

This bottle was advanced, but not sherried like my last one. There's some almond creme, lemon, honey, and brilliant acidity.

Sherried. Tasted like old Kalin Chardonnay.
