Love this wine. Electric boogaloo type wine. So much energy. Could power a small house! Nose is high toned meyer lemon, fresh almonds, saline minerals, persian cucumber, swimming pool. Just wow nose. Palate is just electric! ⚡️so much acid and texture. Insane minerality. Pretty much no fruit. Sappy and extracted with a never ending finish. Structured to a T. Wow wine and wonderful. As it airs the nose gets phyllo dough and that takes this over the top!

Just gorgeous. On the nose: lemon, lemon peel, almond, a touch of lanolin, herbs, and you can almost smell the electricity crackle . On the palate, sizzling acidity, lemon, lemon oil, a touch of vanilla, almond, amazing density. So good.
