Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2029, Josh Raynolds, Apr 2018

(this wine was formerly called "Celeste"; from granitic soils at Mauves) Pale yellow-gold. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes mineral-laced candied fig, tangerine, white flowers and toasted nuts, and hints of ginger and beeswax emerge slowly. Penetrating, concentrated and emphatically mineral in character, with juicy acidity enlivening orchard and citrus fruit and lemon curd flavors. Rich but vibrant in style, displaying impressive finishing thrust and strong, mineral-driven persistence.
