Popped and poured; consumed over five hours. Initially served too cold, as time and temperature increased this became more expressive. On the nose, it’s pineapple, squishy tropical fruit, and fresh gasoline. On the palate it’s tropical fruit and minerals. Long-ish finish. I think this will benefit from time.

Thirst quenching and wonderfully refreshing. Rocking minerality and precise acidity.

Complex nose: ripe lemon, pear, a little tropical fruit, sea shells, chicken broth. Lacks intensity in the mouth, but is still really nice. Good balance. Not an ager.

16/20 (89/100) Аромат жареного лесного ореха, лимонов, яблока и масла. Довольно легкое с высокой кислотностью. Чистое и элегантное.
