(August 2024 release, 73 g/l sugar.) Great clarity, ~14 SRM. Swirling gives some VA in an otherwise subtly aromatic wine. Then I am able to coax out some lemon furniture polish, with hints of dust and caramel. There is pleasant tanginess in the flavor, with lighter perceived acidity than the previously tasted wines (Sercials). A bigger sip gives flavor of pleasant wood dust and faint true Ceylon cinnamon. Lighter bodied. I like this more than most of the Sercial wines we tasted. Very nice. 91-92 points.
