PNP right before dinner. Which in hindsight was a mistake. My Experience in keeping with earlier notes. All about structure and acidity at the moment. Needs airing or more cellaring.

Pale straw color. Electric acidity dominates the wine. At this stage there doesn’t appear to be enough other stuff to balance things out. Citrus and green apple on nose and palate. The acid is a bit screamy for me, lost a bit of enamel on this one. As a contrast, a recent 2019 Goodfellow whistling ridge showed high acid but was balanced with other fruit and mineral and savory components. Maybe it will mellow with a bit of time in bottle?!

I see previous reviews suggest Burgundy. If that is correct, then I suggest old school Chablis, maybe a decade or more ago prior to global warming . This had citrus notes on both nose and palate and a degree of minerality freshness. No obvious oak, what this was not was buttery, rich or full bodied. Notwithstanding that, it was very enjoyable and drank well with sea trout.

I lean toward the positive camp on this juice. The notes contained below are representative. Not the greatest QPR but a solid and dependable addition to the cellar.
