Popped and poured. Light yellow hue with a hint of green. Reductive aromas initially dominate the nose with notes of sewage/sulfur. After a good 60-90 minutes, the reductive notes lesson a bit and the nose shows aromas of citrus, apple skin, and perhaps a touch of minerals. Light body. On the palate, the fruit is crisp yet somewhat dull, with flavors of lemon zest and subtle notes of tropical fruit. Moderate to moderate-plus acidity keeps it crisp. However, all-in-all this is quite muted. On day 2, the reductive aromas persist. Perhaps this bottle was a touch off. Either way, probably best to drink in the near term.

Into crazy mode here. Yeast on the nose. Bill says ground sweet tarts on top of a vidalla onion. And indeed, it is. Fun with sushi.
