This wine is starting to talk. Typical oxidative notes of bruised pear & salty marcona almonds alongside a mix of curry and baking spice with a firm acidic backbone and a subtle kiss of honey (2009 vintage). Long finish.

First time around, completely muted and boring. Great acid but where's the fruit... Second tasting started to open, salt, stone fruits, lots of minerals a bit of spice.... Super well made, but this thing needed more time and I wasn't patient.
