Cannot believe how well this wine is showing with this much age. Delicious.

2014 vintage

Boston Wine & Poker, Lincoln, Mass.: Tasted blind. I thought that this was a ripe, non-German riesling. High acidity. Lots of tropical fruit -- coconut and pineapple. A lot of fun to drink.

Killer bottle. Amazing acidity and extract.

More advanced than the last one.

Fantastic.

2014 vintage

This wine is delicious. Almost nectar-like. Notes of honey, grapefruit, guava, and pineapple. Dry but not excessively so.

2014 vintage

Expressive nose displaying ripe yellow fruit, kiwi, lemon curd, candied lemon peel, grapefruit, cat pee, saline and limestone. Very good concentration, packed sweet yellow fruit, rich yet showing good balance, bright acidity, strong limestone mineral and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish with dry herbs at the end. This example shows strong cat pee and green.

Very nice, nearly two years since prior bottle. Profile remains much as before. I really enjoyed the chalk/mineral core in combination with the deep aged citrus/lemon, yellow stone fruit, notable for its slightly ahh dark quality, herbal tones. Good length and richness with some weight on the palate, fine balanced acidity, has aged very nicely and developed interesting complexity.

Expressive nose displaying ripe white fruit with a hint of yellow, yellow kiwi, star fruit, grapefruit, cat pee, saline and limestone. Excellent concentration, ripe yellow fruit, rich yet good precision and freshness, bright acidity and mineral, and a long rich yellow fruit driven finish. Although a bit rich, nice summer wine that will go well with shell fish.

2014 vintage

Similar to my previous note. Textbook SB, harmonious and lively, good depth and length. Drink or keep. 90-92

2014 vintage

It has developed beautifully in the past two years. Expressive nose displaying gooseberry, kiwi, lemon curd, candied lemon peel, sugar candy, cat pee, spicy spices and limestone. Excellent concentration, packed concentrated sweet yellow fruit, rich yet showing good precision, bright acidity, good mineral presence and a medium to long sweet yellow fruit driven finish. The sugar candy reminds me the mature dry Huet a bit. Despite being rich, a nice wine to sip on a hot summer night.

Drank over several nights, held up well with softening on palate and less edge by third night. Deeper yellow in glass, showing some age that was evident in palate as well. Rich mineral, aged lemon, lemon, citrus, bit of grass & apple, herb. Hints of age are quite compelling, and though a tad less bright than some, this brings a richness that is great. Very well balanced, especially with a bit of air time. Good length first and second nights. …

Gooseberry, herbs, minerality, green apple on the nose. Precise and bright on the palate, great acidity, good fruit, herbal, mineral backbone. Nice underlying creaminess. Good length, too. Very nice. 90-92

2014 vintage

Expressive nose displaying kiwi, lemon curd, star fruit, grapefruit, cat pee, spicy spices and limestone. Excellent concentration, ripe yellow fruit, bright acidity, strong mineral presence and a long ripe yellow fruit driven finish. It is drinking nicely.

2014 vintage

Floral, atypical aromas, the palate gives you soft, ripe gooseberry but with a classic flinty, mineral finish with a hint of smoke. Classy and good value at c�15 a bot.

2014 vintage

This particular bottle seems richer, riper and denser. Noticeable cat pee. Bright acidity. Very good wine and should age well.

2014 vintage

Cat pee, grapefruit, kiwi, a hint of citrus and good mineral expression. Very good concentration, bright acidity and good clean finish. Really refreshing yet serious wine.

2014 vintage

Sweet ripe fruit expression, cantaloupe, mango, mineral, cat pee and grass. Very good concentration, melon driven palate impression, mineral, bright acidity and medium finish with sweet finish. Very refreshing but also has good material.
