Wednesday, August 3, 2022 - Medium reflective gold. Sweet banana leaf on the nose with a bit of Meyer Lemon and kumquat that comes out over time. Positively zinging with compressed energy with strong acids that I haven’t seen in many (if any) Northern Rhône whites.

Unctuous texture and the acids leave the tongue tingling. Starchy notes with lemon water, guava, pineapple, and a melange of tropical fruits. Spectacular.
