Another lovely wine. Pleasantly funky. I didn't get the same flintiness Kermit describes but tons of mineral and acid. Tough sledding against the Sancerre, though.

As another reviewer noted, this is a beautiful wine. Orange peel and dandelion on the nose. Just enough acidity keeps it lively on the palate. Flavors of granny smith apple and lemon. Very elegant and balanced with a long finish.

The wine was better while still young. The nose and the mid-palate are still very impressive but the finish shows a pronounced bitterness.
