Outstanding producer and another 2022 that doesn’t disappoint.

Beautiful viscosity, lush, heather honey, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, white stone fruit, tropical melons, saline/sea spray, white spice, moist, chalky powder, limestone, butterscotch toffee, caramel, excellent acidity and round, lush, very balanced, elegant finish that last two-minutes and lands on spice and soft minerality.

Worth every bit of the $49 I paid and then some.

See previous Delectable notes. Mid lemon in colour - brilliant clarity. On the palate notes of ripe grapefruit, fresh herbs, wet stone and minerals. Medium plus acidity. The following night it still retains the tension and power when initially tasted. — 19 hours ago

This shows some barnyard, horsey notes up front, likely Brett, but for more Brett-tolerant folks like me, it’s the lovely fresh redfruits underneath and crisp and lively acidity, together with the lingering finish, that make this a lovely CdP!! But I would note for those who are very Brett-intolerant, you may not care for it at all. — 13 days ago

Truly one of the most singular wines in the world attaining mythical-like status, it’s wild and vibrant with a captivating strawberry-spice and floral bouquet with a deep, exceedingly elegant palate and a scintillating finish that goes on and on. Amazing wine and the most perfect summer red. — 24 days ago
