Lively acid compliments sour lemon with hints of underripe raspberries. Dry. Really lovely.

1 person found it helpfulJun 13th, 2014Nose and palate tell two different tales. Petrol hits hard, sticky honey, apricot fuzz, lime and faint minerality. Palate is immensely dry, dropping all honeyed elements and replacing it with tart green apple and fresh squeezed lemon. Major pucker! The bone dry finish & M++ acid might not be for everyone but wooo I like the zip.

Jul 21st, 2016Wow this is dry! Nose is in your face and serious. Petrol, sour lemon, bruised stone fruits. Palate is sour lemons, sour apple candy, green apple skin, almonds, macadamias, and bruised tangerine. Give it a chance to open, my bottle needed some time to stretch its legs.
