Bright spritz with light zest. Like a developed muscadet with a line of pure acidity

Flinty, earthy, steely aromas pervade at first. Then some faint green apple fruit comes out as it warms and oxygenates. Nothing but earth on the finish. To me, a nice curiosity, but not much more. After being open a few hours, the finish got almost undrinkably sour. The rating does not count that.

What a ride: searing acidity, then salinity, then a counterintuitive round and sweet note on the close. Mellowed out quite a bit over an hour, but I would have kept the first impression - reminded me of a great Margarita.
