Ahhh like a baked pear Atlantic pie!!!Pears, apples, a bit of pineapple, with bright lemon with the minerality and texture of a seafoam crust. Super sexy, sad I opened it for a piece it didn’t quite work for instead of saving it for a special evening. 😏😉

So far, toasted hazelnuts and honey. "This doesn't taste like bad sherry!" Exclaim 90%of the table.

Oh my, complexity, hint of rhubarb with all that lovely mineralogy, then it pulls you in 3 directions before an extraordinary bone dry finish. Yowza.
