  Grapefruit, lemon and lime, and touch of grass and oxidised iron on nose. Intense and complex palate of honeysuckle, yellow stonefruit, grape fruit, tinned pineapple along with a touch of iron and even butter on the finish. Long finish showing many layers. This was very rich and felt more off dry than dry. Still, impressive.

  Notes of honeysuckle, candied fruits, vanilla. Rich palate, more like off dry. Concentrated, with high acidity and flavor of lemon, spices and mineral.

  White wine dinner outside DC (Wilds of Gaithersburg - outside DC): Super sulfury nose. Reminds me of heavy lube oil. Did start to get some light apricot on the nose as the night went on, but the sulfur smell never blew off. The taste changed alot as the night went on. It gained weight, viscosity and interesting flavors as it sat. Alcohol is a tad noticeable, medium heavy body near the end with sugary notes. Fruit profile of peaches, quince, and apricot was quite nice. This needs 5+years and alot of air.

  Very interesting. Lots of honeysuckle, lotus, jasmine, white flower thing going on. Then morphed into some apple flavor on last glass. 14.5% which was a surprise as thankfully didn't come through. Obviously well made. Finish could have been longer but hey, damn good regardless. Speaking of which, a tiny bit of hay as well. Am not sure how long this will age and would be curious to see what its like in a few years, although I don't see too much more upside with more time in the bottle.
