Tons going on up front and through the middle, then nothing. Just gas. If there's a finish, it's too damn subtle for its own good. Acid festival!

Paler yellow color. Fantastic complexity of mineral and fruit. Very nice length on finish. Acid relatively balanced.

A new one for me. Extremely fruity and with almost a tad too much dosage.

Still on barrique, but already complex with buttery notes and green rhubarb

Nervy and tense. Lime and saline minerality. Other worldly juice.
