See my prior notes. Very consistent, regardless of vintage quality.

Now this is love. A crystalline, pure straw color in the glass. Such an aesthetically pleasing wine to the eyes. Highly active perlage immediately upon opening. The nose is a delight with biscuits and citrus for days along with wet stones. Green apples are expressive here with butter and a touch of cream.

This is obviously so, so very young but I’m unrepentant. Giving it time to breathe and open up is a must. Complexity and depth comes with time. Powerful and dynamic, it’s a lovely pour with zippy acidity and nice structure.

Explosive in the mouth. Citrus notes are dominant at this stage naturally but there’s plenty of yeast and herbal essences. Ginger, lime, and more green apples. At this stage, this is really fun but it’s guaranteed to get so much better.
