Kumquat, tobacco leaf, parsley seed...just mind bending, palate invigorating goodness. Can not wait to get my hands on a bottle of 2012.

2011. Serious juice. But a reductive wine from this vintage. Forces you to keep going back to it to check it again. See you in 10 years

Been seeing a lot of hype about these wines lately. I personally don't get it. Tastes oxidized and like canned red bell peppers. I'll be interested to taste more to see if other bottles and bottlings are consistent with this one.

Flint, salinity, tobacco and fig(?). Smells like being on the beach at night. Needs to open.
