Estimate
Very ripe but quite reticent on the nose; more wet stone than oak influence here. At once precise and powerful, with a cool, minerally character and plenty of inner-mouth perfume. Round and chewy, supported by lovely mineral backbone.
...finesse and intensity, along with vitality. Honey, apple and stone aromas and flavors course through its supple texture before a mineral rinse refreshes the finish.
...intense minerality and green fruit that frame elegant, pure, almost painfully intense flavors that seem to be the essence of liquid limestone all supported by racy, ripe acidity. I very much like the style of this and though this is not especially concentrated, it delivers awesome flavor authority and length that won't quit. Textbook Valmur.
