So disappointed with this wine. Feels like this is the new avante-garde style of winemaking that reinvents the wheel, by being flawed (aromas of surface yeast, ethyl acetate, and volatiles from vinegar). This wine does have great acid and texture, but completely overshadowed by how it shows in the nose and finish. And on top of it all, the wine is not cold stable.
