June 9, 2021 - Day 1: Floral and less tropical version of sancerre, light and bright, a bit reminiscent of tight/upright German riesling. Just moderately pungent and citrusy. Medium high level of linear clean acidity with another layer of crescendo shaped amino acid sweetness and chalky limestone mineral. I totally see lychee mentioned by other reviewer - saline and delicate.
Day 3: opened up, with additional layers of juicy ripe pear and pineapple. Maybe I overchilled it on day 1 - a bit higher temperature will reveal its rich fruity face. 90-91pts.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 4, 2021 - I opened this bottle about a half hour ago and have been sipping it gingerly while it is opening up for business. It has a floral and herbal nose to it that does remind me of many Sancerres. It has a light golden color with a slightly blush tinge to it. Very interesting.
It has a medium body to it with notes of green apple, a little pineapple, maybe a little bit of lychee nut, and a savory finish. It also has a nice mouthwatering acidity. -
