Light gold with a petrol and stone dominated nose... Bright fruit, with citrus, pear and kiwi notes. Floral with white acacia notes too. Incredible power and impact in the mouth. Long finish. Still very youthful. I guessed Coche. A rock star wine just starting out on its tour!

Alive and well. A fair amount of so2 remains. It blew off with aeration.

Light gold. Viscous like motor oil in the glass. Powerful nose. Notes of apricot, white clay, wet stone, some petrol, cardamom and oregano spice. Perfectly balanced in the mouth. Rich and palate staining. After 7 hours of air this was still improving. Still on the upslope of its life.

Best white wine I've ever had. That being said a top 3 wine of my lifetime.

Acid is starting to fall off a bit here - showing a little hot and fat.
