  Continued to improve over two days. Gritty, dark berries, soft tannin, mid-high acidity, and a long finish. Very good.

  Medium lemon-gold color. White peach, green herbs, underripe berries on the nose. Gooseberry, lime pith, grapefruit on the palate. Intense, piercing acidity, but a round, rich, savory palate—an unexpected juxtaposition. The acidity and green fruit cut their way through the palate in an intense edge-of-pain-and-joy sort of way, with a. Long finish of slightly less punishing fruit and a bit of savory notes offer relief. I’m wishing for a drop of more ripe fruit not to balance the wine exactly but to offer the palate a bit of false hope. Interesting wine.

  Citrus, traditional sauv-blanc gooseberry, some green stone fruit, lime peel. Intense steely, mineral/saline palate. Medium bodied. High acidity. Very long finish. This is starting to develop some very pretty savory notes to go with the fruit and verve. Quite enjoyable now with some air. Drink now (but give it a few hours of air) or wait--no hurry at all, though I can't speak to long-term projections.
