WOW. Minerals, crusted rock dust, and honeysuckle florals on the nose. Sultry. The overall package of the wine transcends the elements. It’s stoney and dry up front, showing glimpses of elegant exotic sour citrus, really ripe orange and fresh pomelo fruit. But then it becomes generous as it caresses the palate sweetly through to the finish. Overall, so much balance here, it’s a magical interpretation of the grape- providing even some flights of fancy. Like fruit that is camouflaged and pulsating and minerals that in and of themselves seem ripe. Day 3-4 and tropical notes set in. Unbelievable.

Stunning: tropical, pomelo, rich finish, excellent acidity…endless yum. Treasure from Fass Selections. You wish you were here with my scallop risotto and Monopollage Riesling. Happy 2025!
