Same gorgeous mineral backbone, but with more richness on it

I know you are thinking this girl is too young, and her biscuits are crisp and covered in graphite and borderline sulphur dioxide match sticks, she doesn't taste of soap, which keeps her honest.
I met her in a sparkling holiday casino where we bobbed for apples afloat in the finest olive oil. The orchids and white magnolias of her floral crown shaking their scents into the leather couches. We say goodnight for now, but plan for breakfast tomorrow.

Big nose of slatey, volcanic burnt rubber and slate upon opening. Turns to white and yellow roses pears and apple blossoms with the whisper of volcanic smoke. Really minerally intro on the palate, without exposing too much fruit. Real depth here, and an acidic corset of complex earthiness that just winds and winds until it becomes slender and defiant of gravity. Comely, but natural and splendidly understated until the flexed muscle of its essence belies its grace! Held its own against whole yellow fin snapper, whole radish, stinky Deutsche Rougette Bavarian Red cheese.

Green fruit, a little stubborn / nose left something to be desired at first, but was flying 2.5hrs in mineral yet luscious.
