91 points - Medium light gold. Delicate dried herbs on the nose, hints of lees, minerality. Good intensity, seems like there’s a slight hint of sweetness there, or at least alcoholic sweetness. Some body and richness with good minerality and a whisker of greenness. Drying finish, some phenolics there.
