Seems a little tight right now (yes I’m drinking it too young). But clearly all the right parts are there. Nose shows both Semillon and Sauvignon character, with lanolin s ents competing with grassy Sauvignon notes. Nice crushed stone mineral notes too. A bit of toastiness from barrel aging is apparent on the palate, with herbal and mineral flavors more prominent than the tight fruit at this point. Bone dry with nice acids. This should age well but is nice now too.
