Elevated acid. Medium tannins. Slight carbonic notes. Dark fruit. Elevated alcohol. Slight pepper and olive. Nose feels like classic low ripeness Syrah - it's reminding me of Arnot-Roberts Que Sera Syrah, a little bit of Graillot as well. Ripe palate though - there's sunshine here.
Lovely. Orange blossom. Slight apricot. Tangerine. Elevated acid. Light. Lovely. Quite sweet but not super viscous. Maybe 80 g/L? No idea, but it wasn’t Sauternes-level sweetness. (light research reveals 5 puttonyos has to be over 120g/L, so probably around there).

Medium-weight smaragd (e.g. feels closer to Alzinger than Knoll). Acid not super high. Lovely light nectarine with hint of radish on the nose.
