Lively acid compliments sour lemon with hints of underripe raspberries. Dry. Really lovely.

Nose and palate tell two different tales. Petrol hits hard, sticky honey, apricot fuzz, lime and faint minerality. Palate is immensely dry, dropping all honeyed elements and replacing it with tart green apple and fresh squeezed lemon. Major pucker! The bone dry finish & M++ acid might not be for everyone but wooo I like the zip.

Wow this is dry! Nose is in your face and serious. Petrol, sour lemon, bruised stone fruits. Palate is sour lemons, sour apple candy, green apple skin, almonds, macadamias, and bruised tangerine. Give it a chance to open, my bottle needed some time to stretch its legs.

Very high acidity. Tons of tart lemon. Nice petrol nose but really tart.

The later caramel development really messed up the direction of the meal. Not the best
