A great summer hot 90 degree day wine. Lovely nose. Really open. White flowers, mountain air, spice, pine needles. Scene in nature type aromas. Palate is like drinking a vinous mountain stream. Balanced, compact, fresh and pure. Gorgeous juiciness and length. Really interesting herbal flavors and some lemony flavors as well. Great texture and density yet so light on its feet. Fantastic.

Jun 5th, 2021Nose of minerals, white flowers, lime zest, mountain grass, airy, lovely purity. Smells like a place. Palate is juicy, appley, mineral, complex and fresh. More like tight little heirloom apples. Amazing purity. Really lovely minerality, complexity and balance. Long. This is really good and evokes such a an alpine white quality. Really long.

Palate is a bit apple cider. Pleasantly rich but not overwhelmingly so. Lingers on the lips. Very good. Nicely mineral. Some lemon zest. Quite delicious and different. Great change of pace wine. Juicy.
... as this opens it more tastes like mountain meursault. Pine and mountain air on the nose. Sprightly richness on the palate. Really good as you aerate it. Mineral in the finish.

Ahhhhh....Ayze. Alpine fresh air on the nose. Wild flowers. Super airy and clean. I did not get cider like my partner @Matthew Cohen did. Super complex. So many unique and Gringet like scents. Hard to describe. Palate is wonderfully elegant and super expressive with major acidity and freshness. This needs air. Structure is dominant the first 15 minutes then it gets more expressive on the palate. Lovely tension on the finish. Super geeky and super delicious.

Nose is Floral. Apricot pit. Beautiful. So elegant. Very very perfumed.
Palate is clean apricot. More like mountain stream infused with apricot. Very elegant. Delicious but geeky. Juicy in an elegant way. This is very good. Much lighter and more elegant than Berlioz.
