Super elegant and balanced. Subtle, rounded lemon fruit. So integrated, expansive and detailed. Subtle and harmonious with so much going on. Fantastic stuff.

Spectacular. Fresh and pure with mellow citrus, a hint of mint, perfectly integrated minerality and a powerful yet restrained midpalate. Ina really good place and super long

Took about 2 hours to open up, but really amazing. Fresh cream mixed with just a hint of butterscotch and pine needles.

This was an absolute treat. Lucky to Have had a handful of vintages of this wine. Golden color, great length and a bight and beautiful acidity. Firing on all cylinders! #timetraveling

Like fresh fruit that has ripened. This wine still holds tons of minerality to support it's age. Smell sweet due to age. Minerality to make for structure. Then a finish that has a supple sweet fruit and carries for days. Damn!
