This is the third bottle of a 4 pack. There has definitely been some bottle variation, and this is the best so far. Nose is aged Chablis; lanolin, wool, pear, mint, faint butterscotch. Texture is waxy, which is one of my favorite things that happens to aged Chablis. The acidity has tempered down; flavors of dried pear and various other dried orchard fruits, butterscotch, oolong tea, and a saline character. I think this is cresting the hill a bit, but really fascinating. I’ll probably drink the last bottle before the end of the year — 13 hours ago

Short note. Intense black pepper, smoked meat, blackberry, black olive times 10, brown sugar on the nose; really unique dried rose aroma, almost Nebbiolo like. Excellent acid, superb balance; decant for 2 hours. Wait for 4 years and will probably be better. Fucking great. @Lyle Fass — 2 months ago

Great wine; 14 abv; classic Nebbiolo character, roses, tar, violets, tart cherry, cranberry, white truffle. Great acidity, almost valtellina in character which these days is the highest compliment for Nebbiolo — 3 months ago

I thought it would be fitting to pop this as it was harvested Oct 17 2017, exactly 9 years ago. Still very fresh strawberry compote, fresh and dried roses, fresh porcini, tar on the nose. Excellent acidity, depth, silky tannins on the palate; confirming everything on the nose. Great length. Fantastic wine, possibly at its apex if you like a balance between fruit and earth. — 8 days ago

8.9-9; clean, fresh, simple orchard fruits with the creamy texture I expect from this varietal. For 16 usd the value pushes it to 9 for me. — a month ago

Fantastic. Pours a medium yellow, aromas of Meyer lemon, tangerine, pink grapefruit, wet slate, white and yellow flowers, very intense. Palate of grapefruit pith, tangerine, slight saline quality. Fantastic depth and intensity while maintaining the high acid, linear spine which makes Riesling so great. There is also an interesting fresh vanilla note towards the end of the finish which is intriguing. Great wine @Lyle Fass — 2 months ago
