Top Notes For
White cap. Nose is gorgeous. White flowers, green apple skins, green apple flesh, some slight reductive aromas that will blow off but the airiness and depth are remarkable. Palate is superb! So complex and concentrated with unreal sweet lime fruit and so sapid. Juicy, long and complex. Wow is this long. Honeyed and just dizzying complexity. Wow this just stains the palate and seems very open. Stunning and profound.

Pop and pour. Notes from 1 hr open. On the nose: peach, soft cotton candy, loads of wet stone and lime...still surprisingly primary. On the palate: good acidity, loads of wet stone, lime, soft honeyed notes, fantastic density. Not quite as vibrant as other Molitor wines I've had from this vineyard, but superb balance, and damn good.
