I think it might need a little longer? Under ripe pear and oak. I liked last year’s better.

Crisp acidity and oak with limestone and lemon. Nothing harsh but big flavors and good structure. Delicious to drink on its own but will do right by your food.

Crisp pear, lemon, and grapefruit. A little sharp still with some oak but not yet very round.
