Lemon blossom, nectar, explosion of flowers, stony stony fruit chiseled in rock. Ripping acid. But generous.

Freakishly expressive nose. Wow. It’s so high toned and ridiculously intense. Wow. Blown away. What a vintage. Super accurate apricot, lemon candy. white peach, tangerine, delicate minerals and unreal clarity. 9.7 nose. God this smells amazing. Lime blossom. Lime rock candy. Palate is a bit more closed but still elegant, complex and so deep. Huge lemon and a decent amount of dry extract. Unreal acids but buffered by terrific fruit and minerally. Long. But seems like it has a lot more to say. Now the nose is getting crazy confectionary. Wow. Just dizzying. Nose is a 9.8. Palate needs to catch up. The concentration is ramping up as is the sapidity and complexity. The finish is starting to show elegant tannin. Wow this is impressive. Ok, with air this amazing. The best nose now on a 21 so far 9.9. It’s so deep, so floral and just so round and expressive. The minerality is so gentle but so expressive. Palate is so elegant, concentrated with just perfect fruit. It floats like a Steph Curry floater in the lane through traffic. And what a finish.
