White button mushrooms with almonds , lots of mineral stones n quartz. Some white gunsmoke and wet mushy moist moss. Sparkling mouthfeel. Really steely. Some biscuits. Great length n cleanliness. Lemony dryness.

v expressive nose of green spicy capsicums and cab franc notes. This really felt more like a Bordeaux than anything else. In fact it reminded me a bit of cantermerle. High acidity sour Cherries and strawberries. V unorthodox but drinking much more interesting than before. Nose is definitely stronger.

Actually this was still tight and very thin on opening but amazingly this put on some weight the next day. Still slightly alc and with lightish amateurish red fruits with somewhat artficial acidity. Black spice and black smoke nuances comes thru too.
