Loved this, so wild and complex. I just adore earth driven whites, the fruit is such a background note here. Oyster shells, crushed flint, pine resin, dried orchard fruit, saline, roasted nuts, chartreuse. So much unami and mineral goodness here. High acid, you could mistake for aged Chablis no problem. Killer with roasted chicken and veggies with pickled shallots and fresh dill.

2007 - Lots of power, and natural extract. Incredible balance. We have not been to visit Mikulski, but we suspect good farming here!

A bit brighter and higher acid than I anticipated from this wine, but really good stuff.

More of everything here. More fruit. More flowers, More minerals. And espeically a lot of menthol and pine coming through on the nose. The texture is almost milky in texture but still vibrant and refreshing. Drinking great right now.

2010. Strict lemony acid, fresh stony bite with the tiniest hint of honey and green banana. Lovely wine which comforts me in my affection for Mikulski's higher end whites, and I'll age my last bottle a couple more years to see if it adds a honeyed heft of the midpalate... but no regrets today.
