9.1

Apple cider is the dominant flavor here. Meyer lemon also comes through on the palate. Flavors on the palate dance around changing from floral to fruit then to bright minerality. The nose is somewhat closed and unimpressive. Honestly, I prefer the richness of the NV versus the lean style of the 2004. Perhaps in 10 years, this baby will be ready?
