This was exceedingly quiet, in contrast to my expectations. No experience with this before this bottle, so I don't know if that is its true character, if it's shut down, or if it was mildly corked below my sensitivity threshold. Comes across as a timid expression of skin contact - enough to mute the fruit, but not so much as to develop the additional flavors, structure and texture one expects from a skin contact ferment. Tried it at a range of temperatures (fridge all the way through ambient room) and over the course of a couple hours in the decanter. I dunno. I drink a lot of skin contact whites, and this one leaves me puzzled. My gut tells me this bottle was not showing all this wine has in store, but YMMV. Would love to hear other's experience with this wine...

As put by @Marc Stubblefield , a very quiet wine. Could see some glimpses of the wine opening up, but it never came to fruition.
