Lots of petrol/diesel right up front on the snows plus some beautiful white flower and lots of wet slate minerality that all comes together to sort of evoke fresh rain, ozone, and electricity in the air. It has really nice balance on the drink. There's definitely some residual sugar here but the acids are sufficient to balance it out. There's a certain leesy note in here that I kept waiting to blow off but it never really did. It just kind of developed into this sort of creamy yogurt note which seemed a little out of place. I have to admit it was a little distracting and I kept wishing it would go away with air time but it never really did it's really integrated into the wine. So that made me pull back a couple points. Probably would have been a solid 90.1 if it weren't for that little flaw.

Gasoline, green apple, earthy fungus, green raisins on the nose. Green apple, almonds, lemon (not sour but a tart sweetness), raisins. I like it.
