Absolutely stunning old lady, still so bright and citrusy, super sweet umami-rich cranberries, leafy and stalky aromas, in a soy-mushroom background. Palate is lean but with plenty of mid, fully resolved, lacey texture roped in sous bois and orange peel, with a long, bushy finale. A total giveaway for $50!!
