Tasting notes
Bright, light yellow. Musky aromas of citrus and orchard fruits, minerals and spices. Supple, lively and nicely concentrated, conveying lovely intensity and captivating mineral lift to its stone fruit and spice flavors. Suave, fine-grained wine with good creamy old-vines depth; still a bit wound up but not austere or hard. The subtly palate-saturating finish lingers nicely.

Lively and transparent and long. Very sleek and satisfying. Wonderful tension but fruit too. (JR)
(now 12.4% alcohol following light chaptalization): Pale color. High-pitched aromas of lime leaf, grapefruit, mint and lavender sea salt. Not especially easygoing or open but chewy and extract-rich, conveying a lovely balance of sweetness and saltiness. Finishes with noteworthy rising length. This youthfully linear wine will need time in bottle.
