Really clean and flavorful — 5 years ago
Nose: floral. Elegant. Complex. Hint flitting Brett. Rubber. Flat after 30 minutes a bit.
Palate: sweet fruit. But crisp. Very elegant for the region. Liquid lilacs. Hint of rubber.
Chrysalis. — a month ago
Chalky grape and balsa, blackberry, and plum nose with soft smoke and jasmine with a sweet petrol gloss. Soft mouthfeel turns bing cherry and underripe blueberries bordering green. Chewy. Big fruit tannins. A spicy pepper that always turns piquant-fruit. Young in every way, would love to see this chrysalis emerge.
