Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 27, 2022 - Muted and a touch aromatically off putting upon opening. But oxygen and a bit of warming in the glass right this. Though it takes a good 20-30 minutes to go from somewhat vegetal/ vaguely Muscadet-like to bright and sea spray fresh with notes of apple peel and Meyer lemon oil and wet stone. The palate similarly gains weight and depth with time in the glass, with salt and stone fruit leading the way, fleshed out by white cherry and golden apple flavors. I suspect this is in something if an awkward phase, as all the pieces are there, if somewhat not quite in harmony yet. Will check back in a year to see how this comes together.
