Estimate
...lives up to the estate’s long-standing characterization as their “8th Grand Cru.” Blueberry and raspberry distillate as well as fresh lime, grapefruit and crushed stone both intrigue and invigorate... practically takes your breath away.
Outstanding... can sense the sheer depth of material simply based on the nose as the very dense citrus-based fruit displays hints of stone, tidal pool, algae, oyster shell and white flower... could easily pass for a Grand Cru. A knock-out.
High-toned aromas of white peach, curry powder and crushed stone... with noteworthy clarity to its stone fruit, pepper and spice flavors... Superb acids carry the fruit through a long finish, which features a lingering pineapple perfume.
There's a little oak influence to this white, but it melds well with the clean lemon, floral and mineral flavors.
Bright and zesty and strongly mineral. Intense but still very directed across the palate.
