Top Notes For
2 bottles a few months apart, quite different in profile. The first one is aromatic and full, the second a little thin and little aroma. $27.

Aug 23rd, 2023Light golden in colour and unmistakably Alsatian in the nose with orchard apples & Mirabelle plums and a summer meadow. But there’s also an intriguing whiff of exotic. On the palate this starts quite broad but quickly focuses around a core of juicy, mineral acidity. Seems off-dry but is definitely dry.
This has depth & precision beyond the spicy, rich fruit + good length, too.
What a delight.
