A ravishing nose. Melon, lemon oil, limestone. Limpid and pure. Really delicious. Showstopper

Straw gold color. Bright in the glass. The nose has a very slight dirty taint. But there is also some apricot, some spice and citrus, some white clay stone and some honey. The odd slight taint, something I find similarly in Niellon wines, moves to the sidelines after several hours of patience… but it is a detracting flaw nevertheless. But beyond it this bottle has ample fruit and acidity. Absent the slight taint, this bottle easily had 10+ years of fun in front of it.
