Verdesse

Nose is a wonderful. Complex and so wonderful. Baked apple, spice, apple cider, minerals and alpine flowers. Lovely. Huge acidity and freshness. So elegant and wow that acid and minerality wakes you up! Electric wine. So juicy and unique. Huge concentration and purity. Excellent. There is a serious core here and I think this is a great candidate for short term aging. As this airs it gets so complex. Brilliant. Great tropical fruit after air.

Special wine here: great darker color for 2019 with gorgeous complex aromas that went from mineral & saline to white peach & salt water taffy to citrus, high tone spearmint on to herbaceous foresty alpine meadow & flowers. I know weird but good weird. Palate had some silkiness to it astride a firm acidic backbone. It has some tart citrus to it - quinine, but also a sweet spot with some peach & taffy - there’s also that wild alpine element tough to describe. Beautiful harmony & balance - to superb finish. Drink @ cellar temp. thanks @Lyle Fass

Really a delicious and unusual wine. Definitely an excellent wine. Quite a bit of apparent confectionary / sweetness on the nose and even the early palate, but this is certainly dry. Wonderful mouthfeel and nice length and acid. Nice wine.
