In London, all restaurants and bars are closed, but this bottle is open! Packing 15.5% of quarantine escapism, offering a trip from boredom to la la land with its dry honeysuckle acidity and uber rich minerality.

PnP, chilled. This bottle gave us the impression that it was already on the downhill slope. The nose was reticent, even after warming a bit. What fruit there was showed as under ripe (not fruity) tropical, like papaya. The was very little presence of oak, the acidity was medium, and there was evidence of alcohol and pepper on the finish. A bit surprising that the wine wouldn't even make it to a bit after 5 years post vintage.

What I can remember about this wine is how much alcohol is in it! 15.5% for a white white - INSANE! And that amount of alcohol just ruins it in all dimensions. Its overwhelming on the nose, on the palate, after taste. Everywhere. Did not enjoy this wine because of how much alcohol it had. More like drinking straight vodka versus a wine.
