  Dry, light, incisive, chalky, some peach and strawberry, some breadth -- a pleasing wine and showing better than I expected; would seem to be at its peak. Cellared since original release.

  When it is straight out of bottle, the acidity is quite overwhelmingly high. Intense lime and tangy flavours are all over the place, with a slight hint of smoke and petrol.
  
  After 1 hour of aeration, lovely flavours of peach, pear, melon, tropical (can't tell them apart), white flowers, jasmine flavours start to develop. I am surprised by how well the flavours integrate. They are nicely balanced by high acidity and supplemented by rich / slightly creamy mouthfeel. The finish is persistent but not overpowering, with slightly sweet aftertaste. It's a very graceful and elegant wine!
  
  It might not be the kind of GG I was expecting (especially the unexpectedly sweet aftertaste). But I am sure it's a good crowd pleaser.

  My first experience with this wine and now I wish I had not been so timid with the purchase quantity when I had the chance. . .quite satisfying to drink a wine so focused and delicious. Lovely bottle.
