Tasting notes
Pale green-tinged color. Cool nose offers mint, minerals, ginger and stone. Bright, spicy and almost surprisingly round for a wine dominated by crushed stone flavor. Nicely tactile, precise and long on the aftertaste, with juicy minerality promising greater complexity with four or five years of additional bottle aging.

Relatively dense, but quite closed on the nose. Jewel bright, but very, very tight. I hope this will open out. There is substance, certainly. (JR)
Pale, green-tinged color. Peach, lemon, minerals, gunflint and toasted bread on the nose. Sweet and fat but juicy, with a strong minerality giving firmness to the concentrated, nicely ripe stone fruit flavors. A bit youthfully aggressive today but not hard. Finishes with excellent persistence.
