Nice weight and richness balanced by flinty mineral notes and zippy acid. Nose leads you to believe it will be very ripe and powerful but the palate and texture are quite focused and elegant. Very immediate and giving after a day of air. Flint, ripe pear, white peach, saline, ginger, damp earth.

Muted aromatics in the glass, but livelier on the palate. Golden in the glass, with steely minerality behind crisp apples on the palate. Sharp and refreshing!
