  Bright light golden, perhaps a tinge of green. Modest but sophisticated nose of honeydew, Indian incense, seawater, fresh grass, musk, (mistletoe??,) lemon.
  Bigger, rounder mouthfeel than anticipated, with nice saline, lemony minerals, slate, green apple skins, grapefruit bitters. [Donnhoff GG marries Raul Perez Sketch?]
  
  Shared and served at a 16-wino Bacchanal with seafood and suckling pig, but also amongst an insane number of other fine bottles vying for attention. Fortunately this did allow a quarter of the bottle to return home and be explored days later in less overwhelming circumstance, making some type of contemplative review possible. Incidentally, was stronger on the fifth night than the first.
  
  This bottle is something of a rarity and has a lot going for it, but you certainly pay dearly for it.

  Fascinerende blanding av mineralitet og moden frukt både på duft og i munnen. Smør og spekemat og banan, men uten sødmen. Rik i munnen, med sylta sitron. Krevende å drikke i alle fall uten mat.
  
  Etter noen timer på karaffel har den lukket(!) seg litt på duft, men er mer behagelig i munnen. Frukten går i retning grapefrukt og vi får litt salt i ettersmaken. Men er nok egentlig i matvin.
