Grapefruit, bright acidity and wonderful minerality, lingered on the palette all the way to the restaurant.

After a decant it blossomed. Hints of figs and marshmallow (?) lead to a crisp palate the softens towards the finish, leaving a trail of mineral, hints of lime and righteous balance on the exit.

Really cool wine. Still so much life. Ripe peach, wet stone, caramel, almonds/slight oxidative quality. Ripping acidity, medium + body, creamy mouthfeel, reminiscent of a Sauternes sans the sweetness. Very interesting and very enjoyable.

Light, green apple and hint of honey, mineral aftertaste.
