Incredible nose of apricot, peach, maybe a bit of orange blossom honey, and honeydew melon. Bright and fruit forward, with an undercurrent of Salinic minerality. Like No other SB I have ever smelled. Palate is surprisingly bone dry, with a little more of the gooseberry note of a SB, and searing a acidity. Feels young and set for a long road of development. More open on day 3, but plenty more stuffing.
