Manual harvest, fermented 4 weeks at 12-17oC. Kept on lees 1 month in SS vats.
Well-rounded, accessible and fresh, missing "wow"-factor meanwhile...
Light straw colored, soft golden glitters.
First whiff of biscuits/confectionary, quickly turns to white peach, blooming honeysuckle, apple marmalade, tarragon, yarrow.
Creamy/oily mouthfeel of medium body. Well-balanced acidity. Flavors of yellow apple, white plum, cloudberry, barberry, pomelo, touch of mango. Kind of annoying background bitterness.
Finish is medium, scented with pomelo, pineapple and apple.
Gone perfectly fine with seabass baked in herbs.

Fourth and final (up to date) wine by Raevskoe in my tasting row, shy and ambiguous to my regret...
Pale lemon colour.
Delicate bouquet of wheat bread, yellow plum, white flowers, peach, sage, green tea.
Palate shows highly acidic impact at the beginning, then turning to light, energizing freshness with distinct hints of white currant, brasilian melon and apricots.
Wild apple and lime on slowly fading finish.
Pairing to occasional fruit mix (melon-plum-lychee) was ok, cheese plate was much better.
