Linear and asture, but enough sweet fruit and nice mouth feel to make it quite enjoyablle. Worked well with Chinese take out. EDIT: Changed score from 90 to 91. As the wine warms up it opens up. Fruit is more promient and there is lovely balance. Oh yeah, no oxidation in this bottle

Night 1 - closed nose not yielding much. There was some vanilla and green apple, but it was a struggle to coax anything out of this wine. This light-bodied wine reluctantly gave up apple and lemon with bracing acidity. Night 2 - the nose took on a sweet pea note alongside green apple. The palate had loosened up with less acidity and more fruit. Night 3 - the nose still has the sweet pea note which is very unique. The palate has not changed. Overall, I am not certain that I caught this at the right time as it needs at least 5 more years to uncoil, but with all of the oxidation issues, I couldn't afford to wait.

Still a green tinge in the color of this one. No premox, Saline and mineral with a good nose.
