  -- bottle opened 8 hours before tasting –
  -- tasted non-blind over 20 minutes --
  
  NOSE: minerals; pear; tight/not expressive; hint of oak; seems to have closed-down from 7 hours ago.
  
  BODY: tan-hued light yellow color; medium-light to medium bodied
  
  TASTE: very minerally; paired very well with Thanksgiving turkey; seems to have closed-down since 7 hours ago; slightly oily mouthfeel, and maybe a touch of r.s., too; a touch of acidity, but not much; short-medium finish is of light intensity.
