Great texture and minerality. Floral and fruit loopy on the nose. Very good.

Smells of oily flowers. Tastes of sour yogurt, more oil and yeast. Fruit is hidden behind an almost salty layer. Alcohol labeled at 13% but feels even higher. Pretty complex but full of unpleasant flavors. I’m lost with this one.

This was very pleasant, very unique style: far from Condrieu & Santa Barbara renditions... this had bracing acidity and angularity with distinct minerality along w/intriguing aromas of yellow fruit, floral notes (jasmine?) - exotic, bit grassy & herbal, some citrus - maybe ripe tangerine. Mid weight, balanced with impressive finish.
