(Bottled 2022, 67 g/l RS, 9.81 g/l TA.) Great clarity, ~18 SRM. There are lots of chemicals in the aroma, with VA and acetone. Later there were some herbs and sugar, with faint diacetyl as well; and then some brown sugar and caramel. Tasting shows lots of acid with sugars to counteract that. Medium bodied, the acid carries into a puckering medium-long finish. There are nice flavors or orange, tangerine, and apricot, along with a hint of vitamins. This is a powerful wine with a good combination of sugar and acid, but I would like a more in the mid-palate before that strong finish. 92-93 points.
