October 2, 2023 - Probably a little over the top for a Monday night but wow this wine was firing on a cylinders except for maybe one…more on that later. Light green gold straw hue, perfect medium body and silky texture. Higher acidity and mouthwatering. Immediate hit on the nose of sea air, crushed shells and salt. Tropical fruits, pineapple for me, with a hint of a blooming meadow of white flowers. Such a well crafted wine. I love it and it was so young with the bracing acidity this wine will last a long time IMO. Only detractor in points from being 96/97 was that the finaih was a bit abbreviated and unfortunately for me that is something I need. Highest recommendation but hard to find no doubt.
