New vintage equally delicious. Still grassy with great Flint and chalky rock.

Who loves pouilly fume? This guy! Grass, rocks, like I'm eating the backyard. Citrus and refreshingly tart. Essential pouilly fume.

Slightly corked. Mostly grapefruit with some slippery chalk minerality on the palate.

Minerally and grassy, with hints of peaches and lemon. Elegant, but austere. Great acidity and length.

Lots of herbal and something burnt (can't figure out what it is), and lots of black pepper on the nose. Nice long finish with good acidity... Green fruit in the front palate, soft tannins in the mid palate.
