Jan 9th, 2024Wow, has this thing aged well. This 2018 is drinking fantastically in 2022. Great acid, so this thing can keep on going. But we popped the cork and let it unwind over several hours - and we were rewarded. The white peach continued gaining intensity, the mild tannins mellowed further, and the wine really started showing its many layers. Really lovely.

So so good. Wax, dry honey, tropical and stone fruit, and great underripe acidity. Like a Rhone white turned up to 11. This is truly an eye opener of intensity and complexity. Right after opening, it tasted like a wine in reverse, starting with herbs and building to fruit, but it opened into something that synched up super well.
