Estimate
...superb! The nose is deep, complex and classic, as it offers up notes of lime, apple, a bit of bread fruit, hints of the hay to come and a brilliant base of minerality redolent of flint and wet stones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep, aristocratic and seamless, with a great core of fruit, superb structure and a very, very long, powerful and tensile finish.
...full of ripe pear, peach, and fresh lime, accented by chalk, fruit pit, floral perfume, and hints of honey. A long, bittersweet, chalky, faintly peppery finish helps convey the impression of mineral underpinnings equal to this wine’s imposing richness of fruit.
Subdued but pure aromas of minerals and lime blossom. High-pitched...with lovely richness and sweetness to the peachy fruit...ripe, sweet, fruit-driven wine...minerally on the long, broad finish, which is tactile and gripping.
...high-toned and airy nose features pure, elegant and almost showy white fruit and flower aromas that are in keeping with the rich, full and more concentrated flavors that possess obvious minerality and more reserved, tighter and more focused finish that delivers excellent persistence.
Cool nose with just a touch of caramel in the quite complex mix. Cruising nicely... Light smokiness on the finish.
