Tasted non blind at a wine tasting. Opened and served immediately.
Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of camphor, pineapple, yellow pears, a hint of spice and a hint of talc. Flavors of yellow pears, yellow apples and a little lemon. Medium acidity, medium body. Drink now.

Yellow color, clear looking throughout. Nose of talc, camphor, yellow pears and a bit of brown spice. Flavors of lemon, yellow pears and wet stones. Medium to bright acidity, medium body. Drink over the next year or two.

This bottle, though stored in cellar since it was shipped from the winery, is considerably more evolved than the one I had three months ago. The oak influence is more obvious and this shows richer fruit on the palate and a more buttery (good salted butter, not obnoxious popcorn butter) texture than before. Some apple fruit but it's trending more toward pear, green plum, nectarine, and marcona almond. The minerality and ginger spice is still there, but it's broader on the palate, with less focus. While this bottle's evolution might be an aberration, I wonder if it's a sign to drink up.

This must be in a weird spot. I didn't much care for it this time, but I liked the bottle I had previously.

Lemons, pear with a hint of butterscotch and great acidity on the finish.
