Monday, July 24, 2023 - Citrus rind and beeswax on the nose. Very floral. Leads with lemon oil, preserved apricot and nectarines. Chalky minerality but the acidity was dialed way down - the bottle was soft almost erring on flabby.
Maybe a slightly off bottle, maybe the wine is advancing quicker than anticipated, maybe a dumb phase? The Alban Syrahs are outstanding, this is the first meh bottle I've encountered. I have two more so I'll find out in the next few years.
