    electrifying acidity and amazing depth of fruit featuring ripe melon, hints of citrus, and a fair amount of honeyed botrytis.

A wow wine.

I see that Seth had this wine 10 years ago and didn’t care for it. I don’t know if the additional age made such a difference, if his bottle was off, or if our palates diverge that much when it comes to botrytis but I loved this.

Low acid vintages often benefit from age to shed extra sweetness and show better balance.

This wine is glorious (and Seth is wrong as usual). My note was under the GKA **** so I was confused why they didn’t show up side-by-side.
