The 2022 Silice has a little flesh around its tight core. There's no doubting the vineyard's flinty nature with its arrow-like precision and firm texture. Rather than fragrant, it is stony and compact, offering subtle aromatics reminiscent of nectarine and pineapple. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2023)
