Complex. Citrus, saline and floral-at first. Stone fruit and even a touch of toffee as it warms. Got better with time in glass and as it approached room temperature. First bottle of the 2016 that we have opened. No rush on the rest.

Everyone was working late so we decided to go out for sushi. Opened and poured - white flowers, pear and hints of orchard fruit on the nose. The palate was pear, cactus, hints of citrus and a touch of ginger which came out in the finish. A really nice wine.

Walks an engaging line between elegant evolved sophistication and fresh bright acidity. Gentle white/yellow fruits and flowers with just a hint of lemony acidity. Beautifully balanced.

Still rather pale, high strung and uptight. Like my neighbor, needs to do some serious relaxing and show it’s true self! I sense that the screw cap seal will assure a LONG, glacial evolution. I need to leave the other two alone for a good five years.
