92+ Stephen Tanzer

Leanish, precise and tightly wound, with terrific focus to the citrus, floral and mineral flavors. This really leaves the salivary glands vibrating on the long finish. Very firm but not hard...Wonderfully fresh and delineated for the year.

Refined and elegant white flower and spiced pear nose that marries into the mineral-driven, focused and energetic flavors that are taut and sleekly muscled on the penetrating finish. I very much like the style of this
