Last bottle of this (last notes on 6/27/21). Nose: Lemon zest and hint of cinnamon. Palate: At 8 years old still going strong but the fruit has gotten quite subtle while the acids remain. Given this I recommend drinking up soon. Still solid but the last bottle was the best of the three. Very nice wine to go with the unseasonable 78 degrees today in MN.

Similar attributes to last bottle (notes on 3/16/19) but now the lemon qualities on palate are a bit more evolved (almost candied) and the big acidity of the last bottle is now much more integrated. In a very good spot. Still 91 points for me.

Reductive style. Ripe sea buckthorn berries, Bee wax, sunny meadow flowers. On the palate very ripe and mouthwatering high acidity with citrus peel finish. I enjoy observing how this wine develops over time. So much untapped potential. Drink now till 2030.

Pale lemon. Enough but not too much oak, honey. High acidity. Nice attack, but development is rather weak, and lacks concentration on the palate. Certainly promising wine once it gains some bottle age.

Nose: Earthy, lemony aromas with an almost Chablis-like minerality. Palate: Very good acidity with lemon and minerals in good balance. Nice elegant finish.
