Pleasing nose of pear and apple with just a hint of petrol. Served with a curry crab salad and shrimp, the food really brought out apricot and tropical fruits on the palate. This wine attacked the front end like it was going to be a residual sugar bomb but immediately tamed down and became a nice, dry wine with loads of flavor. Nice acidity but the finish came up a tad short and kept me from scoring this wine higher than 91 points.

Big nose of apple/pear, strong mineral, and janitorial dust mop (in a very good way). Jumbled and lacking in harmony in the mouth offering strong fruit that overruns the minerality and acidity. Mouth coating but somehow in an unsatisfying way. Awkward with food. Puzzling, Greenblanket has never experienced a wine behave like this - many desirable characteristics that are not working together at all. Too young?

Nose of petro/vinyl, apricot, and peach. Moderate acidity with cantaloupe and a very fruit forward way. Day 2 notes: Straw yellow, clear hue throughout. Strong fruit forward nose of apricot, peach and cream. A smooth sugary mouthfeel packed with peaches and apricots with a moderate finish. Score unchanged.
