Holy sh*t this has hit a new level. Floral as all get out with ripe jasmine and pressed white flowers. Gained massive volume with a few years of age; tremendous rocky bite, phenolic, smokey, notes of caramel, brûlée, tangerine essential oil. Just fantastic.

Floral, round, sweet, but with pretty minerals and a great rocky bite.

Light, freshness of sweet fruit with a tobacco finish. I'd love to see what it's like after a few years.

Super interesting. Pineapples nose but all mineral, all the time. Flint, water stone, and pencil lead throughout.

Expressive. Long finish. Oxidative notes with almond paste on palate. First intro into CDP white 2006 vintage.
