A wine that brings out intense minerality, a tight citric tang and a beautiful structure. With its lime and grapefruit acidity laid over ripe yellow fruits shot through with toast, this is a wine that should age many years, mellowing into an open, generous richness.

A second release for this stunningly rich wine, which is developing bottle bouquet of creme brulee, caramel, peach pie, macaroon, lemon zest, butter and smoke. Gorgeous in the mouth, still firm and angular but with decadent flavors. Delicious now, rich as sin, a fabulous wine with a long future ahead.

Rich and rounded, with the toast sinking into the the rich yellow fruit and spice. The wine is gorgeous, opulent, while retaining an intense acidity and an edge of minerality. For medium-term aging.
