I usually don’t report wine I don’t like for taste reasons... but this is not about taste. This is so mousy that it is undrinkable and would make you puke :-( unfortunately as without the mouse, it would probably be beautiful.

So watch out, it might be only 2019, it might be only one barrel .... but clearly this went so bad that I’d rather say it.

I know the winemaker does beautiful wines, I’d avoid the Blanc 2019, especially as it is not a 10$ bottle.

Savory with lots of citrus acid. Lightly textured. Delicious.

There's reductive and then there's reductive - I was coming up for air just on smelling the nose. Needs decanting - after opening up, this is a deeply rich, complex wine.
