  Bright and crisp lemon acidity, very dry, little harsh…but does cream up some. Lots of stony minerals, rain water, melon fruit, blanched almonds, citrus blossom florals. Refreshing…but in need of calming the harshness. Maybe try another in a couple years? (89 pts.)

Did smooth out later, especially as it warmed in the glass. I think I paid $14 locally…but looks like some people get it around $10. Will get a couple more to see what a little age might bring.
