9.6

Light straw; still primary nose of flowers, pit
fruit and mineral; fresh palate adds grapefruit, lime and more mineral at an elevated intensity. Was the balanced finish mentioned? Good juice. First bottle opened was gone, oxidized. The sommelier claimed Stelvin issues. — 5 months ago

Medium gold with subtle green hint; lemon, herbs and chalky nose; texture is just oily, palate is more rich than ripe yet still somewhat delicate with a strong mineral component and quite saline at finish. This was a magnificent match with the “White Asparagus, Lovage & Salted Lemon.” — 6 months ago
