"...There is excellent richness, size, weight and punch to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract that both coats the palate and buffers the very firm acidity on the driving, even explosive finish...an extraordinary wine..."

“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.”

"The pale peach flavors are mouthwatering, as if you can feel the humidity of the earth coming through the wine...The vintage’s creaminess and elevated acidity are completely integrated, making this delicious to decant for white salmon sashimi...."
