“Still raw and primary, but shows good intense flavors of peach, apple and grapefruit. There’s also a mineral streak that manifests on the finish and just keeps coming at you on the long aftertaste. Powerful, yet sleek and nervous.”

“Bright and lemony, with accents of peach and hazelnut. This has enough substance to match its vivid structure, staying sleek and elegant. The clean, racy finish offers a touch of mineral.”

“Lovely earthy aromas of lychee, violet and hint of leather. Wild cherry palate with tobacco and mineral. Supple tannins and very good length.”

“This beautiful wine is austere at this very young stage. But what pent-up power—the richness comes from glorious ripe fruit, tempered with a core of steel and wrapped with pure lemon, apricot and toast flavors. Age for 10 years at least.”

“Beautiful lemon-scented wine, balancing rich butter and apricot flavors with intense, pure acidity. The wine at this stage is toast and fruit, still coalescing into its long-term future.”

“A tense, mineral wine, striated with citrus zest and toast. The wine is tight, nervy in character, holding back its future richness under a firm structure.”

“This elegant and cool effort sports a completely different nose with more roasted nut and citrus influence to the ripe orchard fruit aromas that introduce mineral-inflected and vibrant middle weight flavors that also possess fine balance and plenty of underlying tension. Excellent.”

“A clearly very ripe yet notably restrained nose offers up notes of white and yellow fruit, mango, spice, minerals and soft oak hints only under the duress of aggressive swirling. The massive, rich and exceptionally full-bodied flavors display no such moderation however as they unleash a seemingly full-frontal attack on the palate as the intensity is borderline painful and the finish doesn’t seem to stop as I could still taste this an hour later. Speaking of ‘wow’ wines, this qualifies as well.”
