  NOSE: expressive; medium-strong petrol note; powdery limey tropical fruits; slightly sweet-smelling – tropical cotton candy; confected strawberry; intense cotton candy note with time in the glass; complex.
  
  BODY: golden yellow color of moderate depth; medium-light to medium bodied; cork was soaked 2/3 of the way up, with a couple streaks all the way to the top.
  
  TASTE: great acidity; well into tertiary development; just slightly off-dry; flowery; hint of lime; a very slight hint of oxidation/age; light petrol note on the mineral-dominated finish, which is long, and of medium-light intensity; fruit is fading --- this is becoming about the mineral, flowers, and acidity; acidity is vibrant, but not screechy; 11.5% alc. is not noticeable; maybe just barely on its down-slope; drink ‘em up right now, while this fantastic wine is still near its peak.
  
  B: 50, 5, 13, 17, 8 = 93
