February 19, 2024 - 8.5% abv. AP 37. 45° F. Stelvin. A transformative pairing with asparagus tips in fat, garlic, and anchovy extract. Write it.
EYE: healthy, pale, brilliant. NOSE: ginger, cassis, green apple, red delicious apple, magnolia, broken bedrock, barely scented with coastal ecology. MOUTH: bright, buoyant texture, expansive without weight, governed dry with calcium/ash seizures. Confident sweetness advances as the pour warms, bringing quenching leaf/pineapple and yuzu/cumquat sensations. Deliberate acidity surrounds the experience. Its a verrry fetching drink and with the food it suggests something profound. SUMMARY: this was bottle 1 of 1. It could have waited another 5+ years, though it has already accomplished much of its purpose by now, seven years after vinification.260 views
