Malagousia
2018 vintage. Pithy with some phenolic bitterness, but good medium-bodied, interesting white. Nutty macadamia meets pear skin, baked yet unsweetened apple, dried chamomile, black rocks, a little leesy weight going on.

Jul 3rd, 2019Pritty golden yellow, quite brilliant and clean. Scents of fresh linen, a bit of detergent, but also very nice mineral notes on the nose. Second tear citrus aromas. Beautiful presentation right away on the palate, showing both strcture and massive mineral notes. Full bodied, with soft, leathery texture. Bright acidity showing notes of ripe grapefruit and green melon, but also the sea shell, saline solution minerality, leading to a mouth-watering persistant finish. Pretty volcanic rock flavors at the end. 91 pts.

Jun 12th, 2014Crisp, alive, saline, stone driven with yellow fruit, wild flowers, smoke, showing a semi-viscous texture filled with sweet fruit and refreshing acidity. A hidden gem!
