Much fresher and cleaner than the one the other day. Great acidity, apples. Good.

Brioche, red fruits, floral, long mineral finish, a real treat!

Lemon, pineapple. Mineral driven finish. Kind of lemon pledge-y on the nose (though in a pleasant way)

A slightly odd flavor. A bit confected with a shortish finish. Decent but not much upside from here.

RIP Paul.... This wine is 100 percent pinot and stunning. Describing the flavors would be like saying the 66 corvette is just a car. This was a wine machine and was simply amazing.... I'm not sure words can do it justice.... Drinking it certainly does!
