February 22, 2020 - Pale gold with a tinge of green, not particularly concentrated. Sour apple and fleeting honeysuckle and citrus on the nose. Very faint petrol / minerality. Mouthwatering acidity with more apple and citrus on the very straightforward palate. The acidity lingers but not much else does.
