Kingly. Clean with tons of acidity I would have guessed white burgundy.

Edit: wanted to mention this could age for forever. It was enjoyable as heck but we could wait on this for easily a decade.

Edit edit: raised to 9.6 from 9.5. I normally don’t like rating a ton of my wines but get this really deserves it.

Rich but balanced by bracing acidity, almost Burgundian, youthful and it should age well but very drinkable now.

Really enjoyed this, but kind of round... lots of acidity as well. A different style as opposed to the white burgundy. I don’t unfortunately have the vocabulary to really express what is going on. It get a little more unbalanced, but all of its notes are great. I think maybe a little less on the roundness would be great.

Burgundian complexity and length from CA. Outstanding wine. 9.4/10.
