Wednesday, May 24, 2017 - Pretty stunning surprise here. Essence of the varietal - while not an especially complex example - the purity and the clarity of the individual qualities shine through. Drink on the warmer side of cold.
Opened night 1 - took a taste, re-corked and put in the fridge.
Night 2: yeah baby- this sings with tight minerality, stone fruits, laced with an acid streak that knits the whole thing together. The mid-weight and smooth viscosity add an elegant mouthfeel. For some reason also get a hint of wet bamboo (?).
Night 3: Still singing but more of a sweet-tart affair as the mineral seems to have backed off. Prefer Day 2.
Couple extra points for the insane QPR - Am kicking myself for drinking all the other bottles years ago, but its all over now.
