Nice. Blind I would have guessed Italy (Liguria?)

Very interesting. Orchard fruit skin. Good acid. Some hay and herbal tones. Textured mouthfeel. Hold if you can

I feel like I’m on a beautiful Italian coast eating seafood that was just swimming, enjoying this crazy good wine. The aromas start as pure funk, like a nutty, salty, hard cheese with some age. With air and temp a dense tropical tone emerges overlaying stones/seashells. It’s like squeezing lemon into a fresh oyster. Viscous mouthfeel with medium+ acid finishing somewhere near mezzo-soprano.

Still very high acid but open and good to drink. Waxy nice but more interesting than anything else

Something flawed here. So disappointing. Reductive and sulfuric.

Jumped the gun on this one ... knew it, but couldn't help myself. All acid right now. Glad I have a couple more to come back to.
