Light golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of citrus, apples, stone fruits & tropical fruit notes of pineapple with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, mineral, stony, some grassy notes, herbal & a hint of vanilla/oak in the background. Medium light bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of lemons/limes, melon & green apples with minerals, herbs & some vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with extended airing & should develop further with additional aging.

Plenty of fruit, with notes of peach and gooseberry leading the way. Sea salt notes and a hint of smoke weave in too, but I think the complexity will need more time to emerge. Fleeting acidity.

Friday Double Blind Tasting $60+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Steely yellow straw; sweet oak, acacia, melon, custardy, musk melon, lemon verbena, lemongrass, some sort of cleaner- almost artificial smell, guava, pithy, a little salt but fairly neutral, medium bodied; I found this to be ok today and I'm sure time will only benefit this; '18 Lynch Bages Blanc?

Nose is all white peach; palate is full and crisp with medium body, bright acidity and a decent (slightly short) finish; this wine feels more semillon than sauvignon blanc; it's definetly rounder and less angular than a 100% sauvignon blanc. It's drinking well, but I suspect it will improve considerably with a couple of years.

Great salinity and minerality. Just a bit of almond bitterness. Delicious
