For some reason, Trader Joe's had this 2021 vintage instead of the 2022 I tried at the beginning of the year. Currently, the 2021 vintage has less floral notes, more straightforward citrus and more typical sauv blanc style notes. I get some of the muscat finish, but it's more secondary flavors and less vibrant fruit.

Good acid, smooth yet structured, earthy plum fruit and tobacco and leather with some metallic notes. Well balanced with a simple finish. Should note that the cork broke on me spectacularly which was very unexpected.

Underripe, acidic, astringent, green and bitter finish. Relatively light body.
Edit: Next day is better and somehow less acidic
