A quite interesting wine.

Nose: yellow flowers. A tinge of oxidation but pleasantly so.

Palate : yellow delicious but in a good way. Delicious. Dense. Long. Great acidity. It has this elegant dense richness. This roundness on the palate. Nutty. Toasted almond.

Nose: elegant. Fresh cut hay. As it opens mountain air.

Palate: seashells. Lemon zest. See t minerals. As it opens gods lemon juice.

Needs air. 44 minutes.

As it opens. Salivatory. So good. So distinctive.

This is an iconic Swiss wine. It’s up there with great burgundies. But so different.
