Straw yellow.  Quite stylish, she’s striking and leesy on entry, with notions of pâtisserie, preserved lemon and fine chalk dust.  Then tropical and buxom through the middle.  Granular and rock-salted at the end, her skeins of acidity and minerality deliberate yet precise.  For drinking soon and can keep for a couple more years if needed.
