This is so much better than the last bottle of this so now I think it was just off. Lemony and slate all the way through the palate. Has light to medium weight so just enough to handle some cream sauces but still deft and clean to finish nicely. It probably needs to be consumed in the next year or so though.

This had some spritzig, but instead of it being fresher as in a German Spätlese, it seemed more of VA. I let it rest and kept it overnight, and while it got more restrained in the VA dissipating, it never became really enjoyable, just okay to accompany some cheese as a kind of distraction. Hoping the other bottles are better...

VERY charming aromas. Winter's fresh air. glassy pear fruit aromas. much spritely on the palate. glass candy. a dilute Alka Seltzer, aka alkaline. To bad, I'm guessing there's not more to be had...

Maybe a bit tired, dry with pear, apricot and molasses notes. A little frizzant but perhaps it's acidity. Drink yesterday.

Petrol, floral, citrus, tropical and stone fruit. Lots of fruit here. Full mouth feel but still with lively acidity. No brainer purchase at $35.
