Not the sweetest of styles and clean with no obvious botrytis notes. Wonderful sugar/acid balance and purity of flavour quite delicate and long, clearly young at present though with no great complexities and a smoky/sulphurous note detracting a little from the enjoyment. Next one in a few years I think.
Edit: After about 24 hours uncorked in the fridge. Significant development, much softer and more open, sulphur has blown off, slightest hint of kerosene and a slightly honied edge developing on the nose. Less sharp on the palate but still balanced, wonderful length and genuine charm.
