2024 Year-End Dinner : Holy cow this was wild. Incredible nose that just explodes with assertive floral, peach, rose, grapefruit, earth. There's such a good interplay of fruit, plant, and earth that feels kaleidoscopic. On the palate, there's still good freshness and it finishes with this super cool minty feeling. Gelber muskateller is apparently the Austrian term for muscat blanc à petit grains (explaining the explosive nose).
