Lustrous gold color. Exotic citrus-herb nose; Buddha’s hand, then orange peel and bay leaf as it opens. Meyer lemon and mineral on the palate, not much orchard fruit. Lovely acid, but very dry, one almost wants a few grams RS to give this some more volume and balance. Think this will be better with some more cellar time.

Acid bomb - mineralogy but with fruit in the way distant background. Needed more hang time. Zero botrytis.
