Avize Champ Caïn

This wine starts off a bit reserved, initially revealing hints of honey and slightly baked apples. However, as it breathes, it unfurls to display more complex notes of cream soda, citrus, nutmeg, white flowers, and bread-like aromas. It's all about delicacy and beauty, offering a layered complexity that's well-balanced.

There's an intriguing ambiguity to its character; it teeters between being exceptionally complex and deceptively simple, a trait that could be attributed to its relative youth (???). With time, the wine becomes more expressive, showcasing good acidity and a rounded mouthfeel. Nuances of iodine and green apple emerge, adding to its depth.

Overall, it's undeniably a great wine, yet it falls just short of the lofty expectations set for it. Champ Caïn is Cain of the evening.
