Medium straw - has a touch of color (2014?) Neutral nose - some dusty pear. Slight green apple and pie crust. On the palate, dry, medium-bodied, with 12% alcohol and high acid (tart/malic and strong-tartaric). Has definite midpalate texture - reminds me of the slightly oily Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche, but without the oak. Long finish with green apple, slight tart green apple skins, and slight dessicated pie crust.
Slight bitterness to the palate - like apple-skin-with-a-bit-of-dirt bitterness.
33 months on lees!
This is pretty good - aromatic and textural without being too phenolic.

A bit old, not quite a fresh but still a good drink. Would not hold onto this any longer, drink up.

Bright, crisp, and fresh; mineral driven with some citrus acidity. Not really showing much evidence of its modest age. Tasty, though not profound.
