I wish I had more time to sit with this wine. Reminded of me of Burgundy by walking the line of lightness and freshness but still maintaining this assertive impact at the same time.

A baby but showing lots of hints that point to greatness, tight and locked up, but amazing freshness, fruit purity, acidity and fine but young tannin.
