Bumped up from 4.4. With Hart, Ben, SM, Sean and Tabs. Wine was courtesy of Ben and SM, who brought absolute bangers this dinner.

In this glass this was a pale hay. On the nose, initial funk with high intense minerality. On the exhale, this was a sweet HIGHLY aromatic sweet apricot and green apple
