A touch of green pepper on the nose and on the palate it comes through almost like celery leaf. I smell a bit of lemon too and wet stones. The palate is a little unbeautiful I suppose but the finish is nice, dashi-esque. Leaner than the 09 MDT. Definitely more successful without food, I think. I would expect this wine, from another producer, would have more body and profile, but I must say I’m at least less disappointed than I expected to be!

Decent enough but a bit clipped and short in the mouth. Maybe some storage issues here, this felt a little disjointed. Not bad, just lacking some distinctiveness.
