  Pnp. Initially reduced on the nose with a Burgundian style of oak, lemon, banana, vanilla curd. Palate was initially light bodied and a bit thin/short, but throughout the next ~2 hours really opened up. The acid backbone on this was fantastic and uplifted the palate all the way through to the puckering finish. If I was drinking this blind I wold have been convinced this was some quality Bourgogne blanc or possibly 1er cru. Just loved this wine and will seek this out in the future. 92pts with potential. Will last ~10 years surely and if you drink it now give it some air time.

  Very closed off and reductive at pop. Relaxed a little by day three. Flowers, apple, mineral / stone, high noted and bright, long, luminous.

  Probably best to let these ‘22’s sit for a couple of years before revisiting!!

  A really excellent intro into the WS house style. I do recommend a decant for these wines to allow some reduction to blow off. Tightly wound, coiled up, this particular wine could use some time in bottle to unfurl
