  Expressive nose with citrus, mineral, and a hint of vanilla which carries to a lively palate and finish with refreshing acidity. Tasty!

  Some flinty reduction on the nose to accompany yellow orchard fruit. Bright zesty acidity on the palate but with good fruit density. I took like the balance here. Drinking great now with some air.

  Color: light gold
  Nose: lime zest, fennel pollen, wet rock, toasted nut, Marseille soap
  Palate: high acidity here and a very crisp and refreshing palate. Medium body. Barrel influence much tuned down versus what I've come to expect from Rhys. This has a very very nice peach and some canned pineapple in addition to confirming the nose
  Finish: medium
  
  This is the best Alesia bottle I've ever had; balance is impeccable and this is great now but no rush at all. I wonder if I can get more. 1 hour of air and cool room temp did the trick for me
