Light youthful color. Very pretty floral notes dominate, with orchard fruit, citrus and crab apple underneath. Abundant fruit on the palate; bright and pretty. 92+ pts.

The cork was noticeably light and 80% saturated, but thankfully there wasn’t any seepage. In the glass, it fully met expectations. It’s complex and long, rich yet delicate, with fruit leaning in a decidedly tropical direction. There’s some custard and nougat adding a bit of counterpoint. It’s all very animated and playful thanks to the ample acidity. Beautiful now, if perhaps an atypical bottle due to the light cork.

It’s been a long time opening two wines on the same night that were singing from the get go. This wine is fantastic. Honey, pear, yellow apple, lime. Wine (golden yellow) showed some oxidation but didn’t distract the palate. My only bottle and was a great time to open it. Had with oysters and pan seared spring salmon.

This bottle was surprisingly showing more oak presence than any other bottling I’ve had. Still the classic citrus, vanilla bean and verve. Layers fruit great acids and minerality.

May be past its peak. Medium body, subdued tropical fruit, retrograde acidity. Seemed somewhat neutralized
