Lime, grapefruit, lavender, roux and thyme combine for a haunting fragrance. Crisp, tangy, fresh apple joins the aforementioned elements on a polished, firm palate. The finish is chalky and stony, lengthened by piquancy of grapefruit pips. It's mouthwateringly saline and mouth-shakingly vibrant, bursting unexpectedly into a shower of citrus and apple juiciness. The overall impression here is of striking clarity and energy. This will be exciting to follow. (As usual, there was also a not-quite-legally-dry "RR" bottling from Kirchspiel this vintage, but I did not have an opportunity to taste it.) - David Schildknecht
