This was overall pretty solid. The nose showed some lovely floral notes and ripe orchard fruits, a hint of spice. The palate was initially pretty tight still but opened to show nice ripe fruits and a bit of spice. Solid balance and good finish. Overall good, not great.

Light gold color. PNP, drank a glass over 2 hours. Reductive nose, burnt barrels, lemon, slightly floral. The palate is reductive, matchstick, smoky, sour lemon, toasted oak, subtle pear and melon. Shows more body with a buttery note later.

Drank at wine club on a White Burg theme. Honestly I was surprised on the sulfur on the nose. I suppose they "Juiced it Up" to stop pre-ox and had I known that i would have opened several hours before. Still the bottle was good, but could have been better with more air or time in cellar.

Nose of oyster shell, lemon, limestone and pear. Creamy lush texture (bees wax?) and a med + finish. Good but not great.
