It's really enjoyable and smooth. Reminiscent of a Bordeaux Blanc. The oak is very subtle and adds creaminess to the body. I know it has nothing to do with the taste, but the bottle is super cool and super elegant.

Revisiting this 5 years later. Oak overpowering all the minerality and citrus I remember falling in love with. 5 years is the peak.

Aromatic, fresh and fragrant. Flavors of ripe pear, melon and tangerine. Some mineral, ginger and almond notes for complexity. A rich texture with some acidity makes it lively. Love it.
