Crazy nose. Ripe fruits. Gooseberry, lots of gooseberry. Some sage and black currant fruit. Freaky deaky. Some notes of “orange wine” but only like 10% which add complexity. Candied jelly, spice, fresh mowed lawn, super mineral and apricot. Inviting and complex. Palate is so elegant, complex and dense yet lithe and ethereal. Palate has some hint of cidery flavors but also uncanny freshness and complex fruits. Long, loads of dry extract, and finishes so dry and savory. Like Pessac meets Hunter Valley Semillon with some Gravner DNA. Really elegant and structured. Such a fascinating and delicious wine. Will need age I think. 3-4 years and then will explode. Amazing finish. Almost a 9.5.
