Nose of cherry and lemon, underripe strawberry and raspberry; brioche. Cherry tartness evaporates into lemon pith and peel, lemongrass, lime and tarragon.

Underripe pineapple nose shows lemon zest, steely lime, ethereal jasmine, cool grapefruit, green pear, pea purée. Zesty lemon leaps from the glass and races along the palate, finishes lime and key lime, with a mineral oscillation. Chalky and refreshing simultaneously. Very satisfying dance of exotic starfruit and yellow pear tomato. Ginger and grapefruit build to a crescendo on an refreshingly buoyed, boisterous conclusion.

Lemon lagoon biscuit monster broke the pack with a thin layer of lemon marmalade, a twist of lemon peel to tease the nose. Generous melon and merengue, apple tart, pineapple sorbet, lime, lime pith and sour orange. This is depth! I won’t insult with adgective over-indulgence: powerful.

Toasty sesame nose shows chive and lemon fluency streaking through yeast and olive-bacon fat. Cream-pith brioche entry bursts with sinewy citrus-chalk strands and mineral percussions. Tongue and mouth coating dryness that delivers in abundance! Excellent!

Pith filled nose with peonies, unripe pineapple, white pepper and lemon-lime. Insta-dry on the palate, heavy lemon pith and mineral tactility. Versatile food wine undeniably fantastic with oysters.

Pale gold with infinitesimally tiny pearl. Sweet Meyer lemon micro-layer in cream on brioche. Lemon madeleine, rose leaf, lemon pith, grapefruit essence, baby’s breath, vidalia, toasted challah; smoothest silky mousse. Bright and zesty lime thoroughly coats the mouth; lemon oils bubbling. Lemongrass depth, with starfruit and quince streaks. Palpable minerality and saline interplay. Races on forever.

Lemon seed, lemon oil, grape leaf, sage and lime nose, orange, lemon and lime pith entry is pronounced then softens to zest then ethereally creamy dichotomy astounds. Lightest white pepper that strikes a longing posture on infinite legs.

Big fruit with lime leading and citrus nation dragged into the vortex. Kefir, lemongrass toasted brioche. Palate: Lemon juice and pith, ditto the lime, big splashes of starfruit, quince and grapefruit suppressed in chalky adhesion. Clean and focused, brilliantly backlit by cool herbs and ends with lime zest and juicy lime and just a few drops of saltwater.

Heady open of ginger and tea spices, with lemongrass and graham cracker, a touch of sandalwood, passing allspice and flowering lime. Lime pulp roundly, and lemon zest waving, invite tart starfruit and subdued pineapple aspects. Gorgeous gliding finish with a soft and silky landing. Texturally perfect! .
