Whoa. So unique- takes classic oxidative flavors and flips them on their head. Has a medIcinal, pungent, witchhazel quality on opening. At first was undecided but this won me over. Carries through to a mouth watering finish; resonant with not too much acid but terrific density and savory minerals. Silky, almost unctuous finish.

Nose has aggressively washed lemons & limes, pistachio ice cream, cold honey, flaked sea salt and Atlantic breeze, trending to Sherry (purposefully).

Palate has margarine covered pistachios (oily, nutty mouthfeel), lime zest, faint saline solution, dried lime with a fresh but mildly oxidized finish.

Cork pulled for slow oxidation 2H, decanted for 2H. More time in bottle and decanter will be appreciated. I see very good things ahead. Drink 2024-28.

Paired to Chicken Normandy (Dorie Greenspan); chicken, apples and cremé à la normande (cream, onion, mushroom & calvados), Jura looks to accompany cremé & calvados just fine.
