Nose: Lemons at first. Some oak toast with perfumy pear and apple aromas. Just gorgeous aromas! Palate: Quite rich but with a perfect amount of balancing acids for lift. Ideal combo of pear, lemon, and apples. Perfect balance in this last bottle of mine. Has improved markedly from the previous one, and in my opinion, is at peak where it should remain for another year or so. Now 92 points.

Two years since the last bottle and what an amazing evolution. Balanced, beautiful fruit, depth, and lingering finish. Was a hit at the dinner party. So good!

Quite similar to last bottle (notes on 7/26/19) but a bit more integrated. While this could go another couple years I think I'll stick to the bottle a year basis and finish my last one next year as I really like the energy and where this is now in it's evolution.

At River Twice, BYOB, Philadelphia. Paired with Cornbread Madelines - trout roe, cultured cream, vinegar powder. Raw Sea Scallops - white soy, citrus, radish, nasturtium. Similar notes as my last note. Soft and elegant. Great finish. Got better with each glass. Delicious!
