  Day 1: Diam closure. This is an amazing wine. Honeysuckles, lemon zest, stone, Carmel, subtle oak and spices. Very clean and complex wine with perfect balance. Nice acidity. A true gem.92+ points
  Day 2: This is even better. Amazing effort and for $33 can't beat the price. Subtle oak, lemon zest, orange peel, spices, stone, tropical fruit and minerals. Medium finish and nice acidity. Excellent. 94 points
  Day 3: Holding the form of day 2 and at this price will be purchasing more. 94 points
  Recommendation: Easy Twin Cities purchase.

  Smells great to me. Maybe its just the first drag of the day. Palate is a little bit more tangy on the the palate.

  Slightly oxidative and nutty nose. Intense and concentrated. Some.kind of fresh green notes too like a grapefruit peel. Rich lemon, grapefruit, pith and all. Really mouthwatering acidity, reminds me of actually the champagne we had yesterday (Ruelle Pertois).
  
  Overall feels still a bit restrained and tense
  
  Day 2: more textured and the toasty note seems better integrated. More richness on the palate and mouthfilling. Interesting that this wine is natural-leaning, i.e bottle undies and unfiltered with minimal sulfur addition, since it's so clean and precise.
