Estimate
Ineffable, discreet aromas of powdered stone, lemon peel, tangerine and flowers are complicated by an almost metallic minerality. Wonderfully succulent and silky in the mouth, but with a firm stony edge...
...complex nose...white flower, spice and subtle pear aromas...rich and mouth coating flavors built on a base of fine minerality...A very impressive effort that is positively Zen-like in its poise and quiet sense of harmony. A 'wow' wine...
...palate of formidable richness and ripeness of peach, pear, and cantaloupe with liquid floral essences allied to palpable chalkiness and creating a vibratory intensity of fruit, floral, herbal, and mineral interchange.
Broad yet incisive, this white features lime, apple, white peach and mineral flavors matched to a vibrant frame. There's intensity and grip, gaining elegance and expanding on the palate, with a long, mouthwatering finish.
...25% new oak. ...Light touches of mineral, spice, honey and citrus on the nose. On the palate, again depth but also concentration, mineral and almond flavours, lemon cream - full and alive and all waiting to blossom. (JH)
