  Pale yellow colour. Delightfully complex and in a slightly oxidative direction without this being dominant. It smells like apricots, nutmeg, walnuts, yellow apples, quince, oak, old wood, salt and glue. It tastes aged fruit of apricot, apples and plums. Dry. Medium acidity. Long.

  Very reduced, left some of it for the next day, still closed. Insane.

  This is an intriguing, complex wine, though I am not sure whether I like it. It's hard to get past the initial aromas of gasoline. Fortunately the gasoline doesn't show up among the flavors, which do include walnuts, honey, chicken liver, and olive oil. The wine starts more obviously oxidative, but becomes more acidic with air -- after three hours, there is a strong grapefruit-rind flavor in the aftertaste. Overall, it most closely resembles a white Rhone, but really there may not be anything else quite like it.

  Friday Night with Salmon, Potatoes and X-Files; 5/19/2023-5/20/2023 (At home in leafy West London): Spiky - a hint of mouldy walnut to it. Imagine it just needs time.

  Oxidative style white with modest nose, a touch of Penicillium with notes of dried stone fruit and a dry, balanced finished. Quite addictive. A dry, less decadent alternative to Sauternes.
