This one was a weird one. After reading from multiple people that it tended to come out very acidic, distractingly so, I decided to decant for 3 to 4 hours. Upon doing that, the flavor and body were lighter than expected, so much so that I would say it is not typical with the varietal. Definitely Floral potpourri and a little strawberry raspberry not really much else to say. The aroma was gorgeous but the taste at the end of the day left me wanting wine.
