The nose is pretty and floral, but the palate is not ready, with sweet-tart candy notes. Leftovers were better 4 days later, and very promising, but still quite raw and mostly about potential. This is a strong hold for my preferences.

Tasting w/ The Gang @ Counselor Seiber's Pad (Orange County, CA): Disgorged January 2018. Almost completely Pinot Noir, with 3 grams of dosage. Creamy red fruit, lime chew and some finishing mineral. Honestly, I could have spent more time tasting this and I got to at the end of the flight so my notes here are brief.

Second bottle in three months.
This is drinking wonderfully right now. Still very fresh, but starting to gain volume and sweetness.

almonds, lemon, honey, river stone, loquat, oxidized apple, slight toast and yeast.
Nice balance, with slightly heavier body, but still energetic and fresh on the mouthfeel.
