Seems prematurely aged. Stewed yellow fruit. Maybe it was the bottle.

2017 vintage. Seems like there's a bit of Brett-like Bandaid going on. Definitely dry. White rocks, green pear, yellow apple skin, lemon oil, lemon flesh.

Much better day two. A fruit-driven style that’s delicious with just enough tension.

Very bright and will get better with time. I would lay this down for at least 6 months.

Green fruit and minerals. Decent acidity gives us a crisp finish.

Beautiful, calming, and precise. Fresh, stony, and bone dry.

Tonight is a night for NYS wine. Enjoying a bit of nostalgia. Love the fruit and acid on this treat. 12.5% abv. 3g/l residual sugar (dry). Terrific warmer-upper as I finish today's NYT puzzle and think about dinner.
