2018 base. 4 grams dosage and disgorged 4/22. Nose is all wet earth and yeast. Lemon peel, toast, citrus (tangelo?) skin as well. Really nice, layered and complex aromas. Lonely, mineral and tree bark aromas as well. Palate is juicy and clean with explosive lemon and grapefruit citrus fruit and terrific purity and freshness. Good sap and very clean. Needs air as I reckon this has more to tell. Nose gets some saline as well with air and the palate becomes juicier. It’s very good but so far not special. Really has good palate presence.

More pears than apples with the fruit with some slight honey almond notes coming through. Good acidity that is present but not overpowering.

16.5/20 (91/100) Фруктовый аромат с нотами спелых яблок, абрикосов, засахаренного лимона и бриоши. Умеренная тельность, высокая кислотность. Нота кефира во вкусе. Довольно продолжительное послевкусие. Симпатично.
