Good to be back in the Dirty Jer-z after a few weeks. This is rockin’ after resting an extra year in bottle. Salty watermelon, Rainer cherry, oyster brine, liquid minerals and really faint strawberry. All day poundable at 13%. — 4 days ago

The name says it all. Watermelon, strawberry, salty beach air, oyster liquor, and rose water. Nice body and a rich mouthfeel. Rent a house in East Hampton, and enjoy all the above on a hot, sunny afternoon. — 2 months ago

Day drinking with @ADAM STROMFELD Gorgeous single vineyard; apple, citrus, pineapple, along with a nice nuttiness. Drank this at room temp and it was singing. Need to pull one at cellar temp next. — 20 days ago

A bit of pleasant funk on the nose, along with black olive and dried flowers. Cranberry, plum, almonds, more olives, orange zest. Finishes with savory herbs, a nice grip, and enough acidity to instantly want another taste. — 25 days ago

Hanging with THE REAL DEAL and @ADAM STROMFELD and @Frank. Love the nose on this, really great funkiness and earthiness. The palate is one dimensional, mostly blackberry and road tar. Crushed minerals and iron. However lacking the structure and complexity that I would expect. I keep going back to that gorgeous nose while talking to Evander about the “Bite Fight” and how he learned to box at 15 years old. Fun night. — 2 months ago

Holy macaroni this has developed nicely with age. Still extremely elegant and light on its feet thanks to lively acidity as well as beautiful stone fruit and citrus aromas. Gained some body since the last time I tasted. Roasted pistachio and hazelnut, lemon curd, creme anglaise, sea salt, candied orange peel. The finish just keeps going and going for a minute plus. I’m scared this might be my last bottle of the ‘14, need to go back and see if I can get some more as this will continue to evolve in the next year or two. — 23 days ago

Really awesome acidity. This should lay down a bit. Leans a bit more to the grassy and stony mineral side. Unripe guava, green apple, grapefruit pith, flint and chalk. — 25 days ago

A viscous, golden pour in the glass. Waxy honeycomb, mandarin rinds, spiced pear, hazelnuts, roasted pineapple and even a hint of sweet grapefruit pith. Rich and luscious, this is elegant and extravagant at the same time. Tipping my glass to the ultimate Tor fan, @Carl Fischer — 2 months ago
