Showed well tonight. Starts off with a green apple and honeydew note, then intensified into ripe pineapple, honeysuckle, caramel marzipan. Faltered a bit two hours in -- would not allow too much air here.

oyster shell, citrus, pear, and subtle florals on the nose. Midweighted with good depth and sense of balance. It's stony and a little briny. It is very good, has balance, but lacks the depth and gravitas of other vintages. I don't mean to throw shade, and this is a very good wine, but lacks the something special. Clean finely detailed with good freshness, but is seems to fall a bit flat in relative to expectations.
Day two good minerality, but still comes across a bit flat compared to what it could be. Very good to outstanding, but not a strong vintage for this bottling.
My first Clos Electrique and didn’t disappoint. Telltail Oregon with a rather inviting texture. Mostly lemon zest with some green apple mixed in. Fine acidity and wonderful mouth coating lush palate—rather ethereal. Finish is strong and stony. I was impressed and don’t drink a lot of white wine.

Pop and pour, Drunk over several hours and again the next day.
A stony almost chalky nose with lemon curd, some marzipan, and subtle florals.. Midweighted, and while well balanced, it lacks the depth and breadth of better vintages of this wine. Citrus more than orchard fruit, some sweet tart and good florals on the palate. There's reasonable extract, good acidity, and nice mix of soil, fruit and acid. I don't think its closed, and it's a very good wine, but a bit underwhelming in context of the bottling.
Day 2 it has flattened out a bit, where it usually opens up. Not a great showing.
