Even more modern than previous vintages. Amazing combination of pineapple and lemon rind with super high acid

A favorite- fuller, more sancerre/cat pissy w the tics of age, but really emerges as a mineral zelig as it drinks. Plus, for some reason, completely undervalued (about 26$)

Lots of energy and bouncy bright fruit. Shows a lot of damp earth, candied fruit, mushrooms. Hefty mid-palate and forward momentum but feels slightly confused. Still delicious and great value
