Started with an explosive nose in a Riedel Bordeaux glass. Peach, honey, floral notes from indigenous yeasts. Ripe and impressive acid in perfect harmony with 50g of sugar. Long and fresh. Very good and at 8.5 vol. a very good starting point for an evening with great wines.

Fairly boring on day one but on day 2 this shows less green and more white/yellow fruit, an energetic core still wound tightly supported by medium plus viscosity and waves of mineral, peach nectarine and sour plum dominate with a little underripe pineapple ginger and tart acids; while tasty this should be delicious in 5 more years.

Moderately intense aroma of lemon-lime zest, mild petrol, garden path after a spring shower, gardenia… The palate has greater intensity, the fruit presents more tropical, probably because of the sugar. The wine is sweet, but there is ample acidity. The overall effect is 100% Sour Patch Kids. Moderately long finish. Enjoyable now but I would like it more after a little more time in the cellar.

Grapefruit, pineapple, ginger, and lemon/lime. Jaw clenching acidity on the finish in good way.

Another nice '17. Beautiful lemon lime, bracing acidity, and good minerality. Only knock is a bit of stanky sulfur on the nose.
