On the nose I got aromas of mineral, golden apple, custard, lemon curd, ribbon candy, and a slight toastiness.
On the palate this wine displays intense acidity and shows flavors of toasted oak, apple pie, baked apple, and lemon curd. There is a distinct mineral complexity but very pure apple and citrus fruit flavors. The wine is stunningly complex and mouthwatering on the finish.
Where this wine stands out an truly makes it's impression is the perfect balance and razor sharp acid. It is a focused wine and one that drinks well on it's own but almost screams out for the right foods to be paired with. We indulged in crab cakes and to be honest it was an immaculate conception of a wine pairing! 94 points
