In the zone. This is drinking so well. Nose is divine. Elegant liquid minerals, white cherries and also rainer cherries and a dollop of apricot. Palate is juicy and mineral with almost no fruit and a slathering of minerals that just assault your palate. Just a wonderful wine. Nose develops a hint of orange zest now with air. Not elegant and not that long but what it lacks in charm and length it makes up for in intensity and flavor authority.

Nose of slate, mineral, Meyer lemon, herbs, even Rainer cherries. Really nice. Very clean and very pure with racy acidity and terrific energy. Lovely lime/mineral finish. Nice mouthfeel, excellent balance and really refined. Long finish. Salty. Great.

Aromatic & bold with spicy apricots, curry leaves, dry, citrus acidity and a mineral tang. Edgy and with character.

Initially quite closed and subdued, but explodes on the palate with exotic fruit (mango & lichi). More lime than lemon. Racy acidity and quite some residual sugar. A touch of minerality towards the finish, but all in all a touch too sweet.
