Showing really well, perfect lunchtime wine. Super aromatic, pungent, heady, very floral. White flower with a honeyed edge and a kiss of volatility. Flowers, quince, white raspberry and slate on the palate with a bruised apple finish. Lingers with a cidery impression. Love the balance of palate richness and nervy acids. Complex and delicious. Love!

Huge alpine nose. Fresh hay, subtle mint, flowers, minerals, fresh meadow, palate is electric with nice richness balanced by terrific acidity and minerality. Amazing texture, juiciness and length. Stunning Jacquere.

Killer Ja Ja. Lovely mountain stream nose. Green grass, lemon, Meyer lemon, alpine scents of white flowers. Almost confectionary as well. Palate is crisp and mineral with great juiciness and balance. Man this is so well made. The purity is unreal. Such a long finish. 16’s so good here. Great texture and some kumquat and other stone fruits but the overall impression is liquid minerals. When these are on nothing like them. Brilliant.

Lovely nose. Explosively mineral on open. Balanced tropicality comes out. Palate is mineral and tropical. 91.
