  I agree with shloly but rate it higher. Mostly nectarine fruit but the grapefruit aspect which snuck up on me but was mild. Good because I am not fond of that common aspect SB. This had much else going on. There seems to be some RS contributing to the medium-plus body but tempered by strong acidity and citrus pith.

  The wine is clear, with pale lemon color, and thick legs.
  
  On the nose the wine is clean, with medium plus primary aroma intensity of ripe white fruits, melon, pear, citrus fruits, lemon, grapefruit, hints of fresh herbs.
  
  On the palate the wine is dry, with medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus primary flavor intensity of citrus fruits, lemon, lemon zest, hints of under ripe white pear, floral notes, white flowers.
  Finish is long.
  
  The wine is of a very good quality, as it is showing excellent balance between acidity fruit characteristics, minerality across all palate and complexity.
  
  It was expressive enough at time of tasting, however will benefit from further bottle aging, in order to bring to the front more of the tertiary aromas and flavor within its potential.

  A lovely early bottle of this. Balanced, precise, lovely fruit. Nothing edgy or out of place and more restrained than last 2-3 vintages when things got a bit rich for my taste.
