Beautiful and unique. Airy and piercing nose: bitter herbs, white flowers, hazelnut skins, yellow apple, asian pear and lemon, a little clean white smoke as well as a toasty sourdough note, the autolytic character is very present but deeply integrated. Zippy and lively on the palate, lots of fresh crunchy fruit notes and pleasant bitter herb and fruit skin nuance, a touch of spice too. Long and very dry, so much character here, with beautiful ethereal botanical and mineral flavors to ruminate. I can't see that there would be much upside here, but also don't see it fading any time soon.

My friend put it best: "has everything pleasurable and fun about great Champagne, without the stuffiness and structure".
Rich orchard fruit, slight caramelized sugar, soft white florals; an exceedingly delicious wine for anytime drinking.

Really creamy soft autolysis. Maillard. Just a touch of barley sugar, floral. Light and refined but serious.
