Exotic fruits, dried herbs, piney forest floor. Looooooooong finish. It has a great viscosity to go along with the tart fruit. Its damn young and has an in your face attitude.

My first of 12 in the newly arrived case. Very shy nose. Only faint hint of steely slate and lemon. The palate is more open but still restrained. Lemon peel, mineral undertow on front palate, then the back end broadens out with vanilla and brioche notes. So long, but still a baby.

Dusty, chalky notes. Very light, bright color. Medium bodied. Green apple, crisp tartness. More floral when it’s chilled.

New vintage for me. Fresh and nice. Not quite rounded into place. Needs some time to integrate. Not a fair place to assess.
