  nine days, nine years in reverse; 1/19/2024-1/27/2024 (lake erie basin): 9% abv. AP 36. EYE: bright, straw gold with a glance of green; a tall pour produced a tissue of atomized gas, reluctant to leave solution. NOSE: subdued. Steamed almond meal yields to maraschino, chervil, lime peel, and pear. MOUTH: intense, large, and explosive flavor, of pome/citrus and wilted spring herbs; unabashed, state theater stage drapes of sweetness. Active cascades of ripe, yellow, grape glycerin join bulging acidity.

Notably absent are mineral and stone sensations; no struck edges of quartz, no petrichor, no chalk—I suspect it lies under all the botany.

  Brilliant acidity, only moderate sweetness, this is electric and refreshing Drink now for sheer excitement, but keep a few for the long haul, as the balance is spot on for serious aging.

  En del sødme. Så passet perfekt til Gorgonzola!
