  7/23/2023 - Neumann U47 Likes this wine:

  Beautiful waxy apple-y yellow flowery nose, extremely dry on the palate. Almost thin and watery mid palate but finishing with a nice long grapefruit pith mineraly ending, very long.
  
  Curious if this would fill out with time, (sat in wf for 5 weeks after delivery) and how it was upon release. Nose retains its wonderfuness throughout being open.
  
  Best day one, fell into a duller state day two, still with great acidity and elegance, just not the zip on day one.

  Similar to my prior note which I edited in a minor way today. Noted more honey on the nose this time. Characterized by a ripe nose but dry palate with prominent minerality and complexity. Excellent!

  Nose of apple, petrol and sea air. Palate of ripe apple, honey, ginger, with fine minerality and pleasing acidity. Terrific complexity, balance and elegance. 91-92

  Very young, witheld power. Fruit and herbal notes, a powerful but not overdone acidity, restrained by nice bitters. Mouth filling.
