Ok, this is hitting its stride. Such good fruit, apples galore, some tropical fruit maybe passion fruit, lemon, excellent acidity and some creaminess on top of that. There’s also an earthy flavor like oysters with uni on top and a side of apple! Doesn’t work when I write it, but works great with fried chicken with the fam! — 2 months ago
Nose is yeasty, buttery and smells generous. Really inviting. Saline and iodine scents abound. Green apple skins and also a hard mineral background. Good grip and concentration and just the right amount of sugar that gives it a generous mouthfeel but doesn’t lose its grip. Pretty nice flavors of lemon curd, toast, butter and green apple. Good freshness and acidity along with fine mousse. Really fine for this level. Nice sap and complexity on the finish and some lime zest and green apple flesh and skins. Now with air the inner mouth sweet spices are so good. More elegant with air and a super salty finish. 9.3 now. — 6 months ago

Nose of wet earth, sweet mid season strawberry, spices, minerals, sweet ripe tomato, watermelon and iodine. Very harmonious aromas. A gamey element as well that adds intrigue. Palate is sappy and elegant with such refined mousse and silky flavors of strawberry and watermelon. With air the nose has soppy cherries now and just a deeper fruit expression overall. Really good acids but also it clearly needs air. Man, after some air the fruit has such remarkable clarity and really hits. — 6 months ago
