  February 22, 2024 - A very expressive and generous nose here with lemon, beeswax, woody tones and smoky popcorny reduction. Smells a bit sticky, if that makes any sense. On the palate it is airy and rich with good volume but also pretty terrific acidity and relative lightness, probably thanks to the modest 12.5% ABV. There is sweetness to the fruit while it tastes dry and quite savory with some tension as well. The use of oak is really nice - it doesn’t try to hide it at all but the balance with the fruit is impeccable. There is slight oiliness to the mouthfeel that I could do without but it doesn’t distract much and with food at all. The missus said that this is borderline too aromatic for her and I understand what she means - this is definitely not the most restrained white Burg out there. I however find both the style and the quality laudable and while very tasty now it surely has at least short term upside. 2017 delivers again!
