  Quite good out of the bottle, pop and pour but served over 1 hour. Clean with minerality of stone and husk, not very fruit forward. Young and clean on the palate. Pleasant to try a wine that's not overly oaked
  
  The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like apricot, flint and mineral. It tastes like apricot, peach and melon. The body is light/medium. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

  Pretty tasty right now. It has benefitted from being open over an hour here. I would suggest an hour decant. Years ago it had a pronounced toasted wood note, but that has been well absorbed. It is golden, clean, young-ish on the nose, with deep white fleshed fruit, some pineapple, minerality, and telltale lanolin. Really the fruit intensity speaks the most. The attack is quite soft, refreshing enough, balanced, resting on the mid palate, and continuing on the finish for a while with honey, candied fruits, crushed dried flowers, and a little spice. Slight tartness to the finish too, so it is enjoyable. It is drinking very well by the glass right now. It would be better with food with time in the decanter. Wish I had more...Last one :(
