1973 LP. Musty, but shiny lemon zest nonetheless. Fruit tannin structure up front, while truncated backside, mostly due to next-day fridge temperature. Waterlogged lemongrass with a Brett-citrus-esque funk note, but not entirely unpleasant. Powdered lemon candy dust. I could not say no, but she hardly said 'yes'.
