  Day 1: A bit thin for a Kevin White wine and the initial day 1 review is not favorable on this wine and why independent wine critics are more important than the "Pros" Not balanced with smoke, muted fruits, spice and some dried flowers. This is the worst Kevin White wine I have tasted and could have had some smoke taint issues as this bottle surely does. 78 points
  Day 2: This is why you never give up on a wine. This will never reach 90 points but is certainly way more drinkable on day 2. The smoke impact is present as just tasted a 2021 from the same shipment which was outstanding. Smoke, underbrush, muted fruits, spices and earth. Finish is a bit disjointed and maybe should have been put into the base bottling for this vintage. 85 points
  Day 3: Again better than day 1 but can't get past that smoke. The fruit is hidden and offers underbrush, dried flowers, spice and earth. Easy pass. 85 points
  Recommendation: Buy any vintage other than this as this wine is always 93 points or higher for myself.

  Powerful blend of Bouschey and Olsen. Fruit and savoury elements in an interesting tension
  
  Needs time and meat to come into its own
