The nose is driven by citrus and minerality. Scents of lime and lime peels mingle with scents like stones from a clear stream. Clean limes show quickly on the palate, along with fruit that seems sweet. This shows an impressive contrast between fully ripe fruit flavor, and the light and bright weight of a dry wine. Floral notes show briefly on the mid palate, and the flavor and texture of lime peels stick around on the finish.
The nose is straightforward, reminding me of lemon curd. On contact, the mouthfeel is quite nice. Direct flavors of citrus follow the nose well, and are supported by even acidity. A touch of sweeter fruit adds richness to the citrus flavors, and the texture of the wine remains enjoyable across the palate. The acidity persists into the finish.
The nose is pretty light on this wine, showing intriguing scents of flowers over stony minerality. When tasted, barely ripe peaches mingle with limes. Delicate acidity goes deep, keeping things taut without getting too heavy. It maintains a satisfying sense of purity.
No score here, as the nose was still showing a touch of yeast that will fade with a little more time in bottle. Some fruit was already starting to come through on the nose. A touch of cream was evident on the palate, with gentle lemon flavors delivering balancing acidity. A touch of herbal flavor adds some complexity to the mid palate. The acidity sinks into the gums on the finish, and persists for some time.
Herbs and barely ripe peaches make for a slightly austere bouquet. The peaches show through on the palate with great flavor. The acidity feels like limes that were squeezed over the top of the delicious peaches, and an edge of cream on the finish provides some depth. The limes persist on the finish. The flavors hint at a dessert wine, but the texture, acidity, and weight keep this light and fresh.
The nose here still shows some yeasty scents that will dissipate with time, and some lime aromas. This is absolutely lovely when tasted. Firm acidity supports lovely peach flavors. Stony minerality appears, giving this a fantastic sense of depth and a core of great purity. Everything remains in balance across the entire experience, and it all lingers long with fruit flavors leaving a lasting impression. 92 now, and near certain improvement as the yeast notes fade from the nose.
Scents of stones and overripe peaches show in the glass. It has a bit of spritz when tasted, delivering nectarine and lemon lime flavors. Crisp sweetness lingers as well as flavors of older fruit.
The nose shows great depth, purity, and zest with killer minerality reminding me of an icy stream. Scents of mint and fruit contribute as well, drawing me into the glass. Pure and clear peaches with skins show on the palate. The acidity slowly builds in intensity, rising to sit beautifully in balance with the fruit. This shows great balance, flavor, and length.
The nose is on the lighter side at the moment, showing some peach scents. On the palate, a long slow build of sweet flavors and acidity work together very well. Red apple flavors mix with pure limes and a touch of peach. It starts light, and remains clean all the way through, making the slow build of intensity quite engaging.
Full scents of minerality show in the glass, coming from rocky streams and slate. Some lime jelly scents add fruit and complexity. When tasted, the lime jelly takes on depth while a wash of light and pure peach flavors roll over the top of it. the peaches show great flavor and purity with sweet character that lingers long. A bit of quince jam is evident on the finish, as well as good acidity that keeps the experience balanced from beginning to end. This is delicious, complex, and interesting.
