Mellow, dry tropical fruit, high acidity, some vanilla, and a touch of zesty citrus. Complex wine, not fruit driven. This really reminds me of Côte de Beaune Grand Cru in its breadth.

June 13, 2023 - Sorta basic on opening. So most of it was ignored for a few hours, after which it opened up very nicely. In fact after corking half of it and trying it the next day it was better. Nose very flowery and the palate with some nice fruit, acidity, and minerality, with a bit of salinity that impressed on me being at the beach on a cool day.

May 5, 2023 - Not up to the usually lofty standards of Ceritas. Bouquet is very restrained but promises some richness and complexity which the palate unfortunately can’t deliver. Green apple and ocean salinity, almost devoid of interesting minerality. Might be bad bottle, will try another soon to verify.
