Less oxidative and golden than previous years. Mild mineral, grapefruit and wet wool nose. Spritzy and fresh, with lemony acidity. Shallow. A touch bitter. Ripe apricot, honey and hay aromas mindful of botrytis-affected dessert wines. Mid-weight, creamy yet lively, with a warm finish. Good length. Great price.
