Last bottle of vintage. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Floral and dust notes in nose. Rounded mouthfeel, bright, great balance of acidity, complex flavor profile - citrus, stone fruit, melon. Mineral, lemon (and after 60 minutes) leesy finish. This has aged well over past two years since my previous tasting.

Pale yellow white in color. Floral and herbal notes in nose. Honey, stone fruit and citrus notes in mouth, minerality on finish. Rounded mouthfeel, some body or viscosity, slight astringency on tip of tongue in aftertaste. Fruit flavors have length, Rich, complex, great food wine. Still liking this one, seven months since last tasting

First to rate this wine here, ever - cool! Pale yellow-white in color. Floral, herbal and citrus notes in nose. Floral citrus melon and stone fruit notes in mouth, subdued intensity of flavors but elegant and well integrated. Rounded mouthfeel, good acidity (though short of crispness) and minerality on finish. A winner, give this wine and winery some love, people.
