  Gorgeous wine, in the style where the oxidative notes are not dominant, but instead are balanced with the fruity character, making it both very fresh and highly acidic and deep, complex and different. The fruit core is tightly wound and could warrant further cellaring. But hey, so good right now!

  Medium lemon in the glass. Shy on the nose, does show some oxidative character. Burst of acid on the palate with a rainbow of flavors. Very well-balanced and long finish.
