shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. my notes had projected drinking a bottle last spring but my attention was focused on other things. it is now nine years since the vintage and the wine continues to show very well. still vibrant. i continue to get mostly green apple notes with generous acidity. i love wines from this area and this one is an excellent example. another WTSO winner. the wine seems to be fully mature. will enjoy remaining bottles soon.

shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. too much wine. not enough time. no formal notes. i agree with other tasters who made recommendations in the past to enjoy the wine early in its deveopment. we are now 8 years from the vintage and the wine continues to show well. i like it better than most other tasters, but vire-clesse is one of my favorite areas. i get mostly apple notes. will enjoy remaining bottles in the spring of 2023.

Meh. Kinda bitter. Drinkable, but tastes cheap.

Last bottle of this and still lots of vibrancy. A steal at $15/bottle.

More integrated and less apple emphasis than the last bottle (notes on 11/16/18). More minerality too. Now 90 points.
