  yellow fruits in silver tones, precise cut, pure, beaming sunshine rays of acid, pineapple, passion fruit, with teases of fleshier tones of peach and mango, citrus eaten as a hand fruit, vibrant and bright, crunchy minerality, polished slate, viscous brine, hints of fresh toasted coriander, herbal tonic, Fuji apple, marzipan, enamel-ripping, palate-staining, up-front, and meandering
  
  give this some air and let it warm up

  While not a ‘complex’ wine, this little guy was loaded with character and personality. Starts off with an almost carbonic sensation, a little zip on the finish that is more than just acidity (which is great) but not quite bubbles. This recedes somewhat, and allows for a yellow sunshine array of yellow fruits to take the stage. A slight saline cut. Spunky and ridiculously easy to drink. Dry and very clean on the finish. Getting more. $24

  Taken from display on the shelf of a local retailer with uncertain climate control.
  5/12. 11% abv. AP 01. 63° F.
  WHY: I needed a sure thing after opening two premature French wines (which will be noted after they aerate for a day.) Chargrilled strip steak is ready to become dinner and I wasn't in the mood for a 2003 Côtes de Duras.
  NOSE: pierced with cracked apple, quenched with measured and exotic lemon blossom, goji, and sumac.
  MOUTH: ever more relaxed in a linear progression marked from the first bottle of 2021 1,000L I ever drank. It's starting to taste like proper, picturesque Piesporter. As the searing, pointed acidity rests, there is room now for jowly mineral sensations to lead the action. Dessert apple cores tumble away from emphatic lashes of lemon peel stained with cherries and tea. The mineral structure forms a wide open lattice that suggests unknown outcomes. Will this wine age quickly? Will it hibernate? In an earlier note I compared it to a general model of Großes Gewächs; today it appears liberated from that standard; it's not as oily, but rather more delicately scented and texturally aspirated. Let it rest another 6-24 months before drinking again.
  Reflecting on the last few drinks from the bottle, this is a reflex trigger of wine beauty. Tonic. Schooled. A summit mixture of atmospheric masses.

  Fluttering with gas. Smelling of stone, broken so freshly that it smolders. Cavernous, brittle salts, weeping savory root solutions. There, in the middle of the drink, it's beginning to relax, just a little, showing a certain wilt to the otherwise crunchy red delicious apple peel and cassis. Imposing lateral action appears at the base—like a clastic inundation of lime and oyster. Later: saline viscosity extracted from over ripe, sour morello cherries ... steeped with a green tea leaf.
  
  A ridiculous tomahawk rib chop shipped with a broken cryo-seal provided the excuse to light the grill and drink this wine again.
