  I'd have to give this one the mineral edge – compared to Thomas' other Bench bottlings…it's open & loose by comparison.
  
  Ripe lemon-citrus, with a 'biscuity' character. The frame is quite light, actually…think more zest than fat. Remarkably sharp-acid finish considering the warm vintage.
  
  Length & depth are good. I may be off thinking this one can go long in the cellar.

  Nectarine, pears, apples, some faint wood spice. Fairly round and textured but maintaining some cool climate freshness in the warm vintage.
