Opened up over 2 hours to express amazing mineral texture. Beautiful weight and focused finish. Bright, youthful. Difficult not to draw comparisons to Corton-Charlemagne.

My first thoughts were new world but as the wine sat in my glass I began to think old world but a producer with new world tendencies. Aromas and flavors of orchid and tropical fruit with French oak playing hide and seek. This wine is walking a tight rope of either blossoming into something really good or falling apart. Have a few bottles so I will be able to evaluate the evolution.
