this is so young, the yeast of the ferment still swings on the nose. underneath that, tightly curled freshness suggests both candied lemon slices and lemon sorbet—but this needs time to unfurl its glory. despite its slenderness, this wine has muscle and tone, structure and poise. the long finish is lip-smacking and moreish. drink 2018–2025.
