Medium/ dark lemon color Medium plus aromas of ripe lemon and pear with fresh herbs and white florals/ fruit blossom Medium bodied with palate of light citrus/ dry herbs but really dominated by dry rock minerality Medium plus acidity and medium alcohol with moderate phenolic bitterness Medium finish equally led by bitterness/ acid and minerality Drinking very well presently

Double blind tasting Pale gold, filtered Aromatics medium +. Luscious tree fruit of yellow ripe pear followed by florals. No new oak, pyrazines nor earth. Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. I did not get phenolics. Alcohol medium. Minerals of salt and rock, yellow apples and citrus Finish has a medium + length. Balanced I guessed a 2019 Chablis. After the reveal, there are phenolics, but I never picked up on these, which may have changed my guess? Not withstanding my blind tasting issues, nice wine that I have had several times and always liked. This was the screw cap version, but I don't recall if this changes much Drinking well now.

Did the Stelvin vs Cork test tonight. Both were delicious. Now that they are 5 years in, we decided that the cork version was "rounder" and had a bit more body. These could go beyond 2023 but why wait.

Second btl of this, this one bottled with (real) cork. No notes but this seemed very typical and true to the AC. A tad clumsy with more glycerin/sugar I was looking for on a scorching night in CA

Last bottle - Stelvin cap version. Bottle was a bit more tired than I remember. Drink up.
