Nose is dominated by sea salt ocean breeze. Light flinty minerality bordering bitter lemon peel. Faint juniper like I was about to make a gin martini. Cloying lemon twist to front palate with a little residual. Still feeling like a smooth martini with less of a bite. Soft acidity, bitter lemon on the finish. Would love to see this matched with some food.

9.0

More like an 8.8, but I gave it 9, because of the Remarkable price. Lots of nice floral notes.

M- intensity. White flowers, Apple, apricot, ripe lemon and minerality. M acid, body and finish. A good example of the grape.

Serious acidity in a 'sour' white with a bit of Parmesan and melon thrown in

Dissolved CO2 and maybe a little high free SO2 level. Yes I am too technical. Nice ray of sunshine on a cloudy rainy day though.
