Fascinating wine—upon opening, the nose has a complex reduction reminiscent of a well-made modern white Burgundy with a natural-y oxidative note. Hints of riesling begin to appear on the palate, but even then the winemaking provides the overarching structure. The finish is where a little weakness shows, as it reflects a pils-like quality seen in American adjunct lagers (suggesting a touch of mouse).
