A lot of minerality on the nose, some apricot, some lemon pith, some almonds. Round on the palate, tart lemons but not a lot of acidity, strong minerals. Went well with our shrimp risotto but otherwise kind of flabby and not great.
Detailed bottle labels (and Google Lens) are great!

Big round mouth feel. Orchard fruits, some bitter nuts. Needs bit more acidity.
