Last bottle, opened for Ajax-Chelsea. Excellent and consistent with previous bottles, but I think I liked this better younger. It may be more harmonious and balanced now, but I liked it jumping out of the glass. Maybe in an interim phase, but if I get more I'll drink them on the earlier side.

Similar, but not quite as woke as my previous bottle. Brine, smoke, pickle juice, orange, and seaweed still abound just a tad more muted. I hope my last bottle sings as much as the first.

Opened for Dortmund-Madrid. Wow, this was really excellent. I'm not going to be able to write a better note that Isaac's, which is right on the money. So complex, briny, and vibrant. Notes of smoke, pickle juice, and orange, and seaweed. This is one of my new go to whites. The bottle held up very well over three days, though I liked day 1, when it was at its funky/briny peak, the most.

I served this in my wine course. Wow, love the crazy wild wine nose. Pickle juice, garlic, cigarette smoke are some descriptors for the nose. Beautiful rich mouth feel. Bitterness in the long finish. Definitely an acquired taste that may not appeal to all.

Still good. Slightly sherrified. Fruit faded some the second day.
