Estimate
...massive bouquet of crushed citrus, salty minerality, white flowers, and grapefruit. Racy, full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully textured...brilliant white!
...candied citrus, fresh melon, pear and quince notes come through on the palate, together with discreet, toasty oak...concentrated, the power is underplayed and the enormous, herbal and mineral depth steals up on you slowly and then whisks you away.
...clean, precise bouquet with a fine mineral vein that becomes more pronounced with aeration. The well-balanced palate is poised and harmonious, delivering a fine bead of acidity and real weight and penetration toward the lightly peppered finish. Superb.
The nose reveals spiced pears, waxy lemons, honeysuckle and yuzu with wafts of lime juice and green guava. Medium-bodied with great intensity and elegance, it has a racy line cutting through the citrus and tropical layers, finishing long.
Honey and spice on the nose, with the classic cream plus citrus combo of oaked Sauvignon...soft acidity, full body and long, stately persistence.
