June 28, 2022 - Marl/Limestone/sandstone. Very dry, almost bitter with a celery seed sort of bite to it. As it sits, even more lemon acidity and its a steely, bracing, bone dry acidity too. It reminds me of Santorini Assyrtiko. With time, a custard creaminess and peach, apple, and pear fruit flavors emerge, but the saline and petrol notes also grow stronger. I also detect some cucumber. Finally, there’s a very attractive breadiness to this one. Not the right thing with foie gras and match with veal head and sauces. Probably better with fish, as website suggests, and additional bottle age too. Worth the price, but this isn't wowing me. I will say, in it's favor, I noticed a lot of different nuances throughout the evening. It just never popped with the food I paired it with.
