This is a sensuous wine. Candied citrus peel. Stone fruit, floral, and ripe apricot aroma. Sweetness and real body come across the palate. Brilliant golden hue. Given liveliness by its textural density not just acid.

Huge nose of lemon, lemon pith, wet wool, apricot skins, apricot pith, minerals galore, some hint of honey, some sort of high end bath soap but in the best way possible and so much more. Much more open and defined than last time I had it. Palate is chewy, dense and concentrated with beautiful almost sweet lemon flavors. Sapid and pure. Clean. Amazing texture. There’s something grippy in the texture. Love it. Almost tannic but not. Such amazing purity and uniquenesses. Wonderful structure and an almost but not quite sweetness. As this airs the nose gets floral, herbal and spicey. Wonderful.

Feb 17th, 2022Nose is lemons, lemon oil, wool, sweet and Provençal herbs and spices. Palate is juicy, mouth filling and clean. Very pure and clean. Flavors of sweet lemon, and an awesome elegant texture. Really terrific mouthfeel and texture. Very good acids but not elite but the freshness is from the minerals and the juicy but tempered acids. Lush. Finishes also with a lovely note of bitterness.

Nose is lemon floor polish in a good way. Tropical flowers. Aerating nicely. Gorgeous as it opens. Incredibly intense tropical flowers and lemons. Penetrating. Massa is more correct This is more Dali. Truly almost surreal.
Extremely rich on the palate. Tropical fruits. Not super mineral. Delicious. Juicy. Tart acidity. More like an acidic northern rhone wine than massa. Lithe juiciness on the finish. Elegant and so fine. At times acupuncture of flavors lacerate the palate. Tiny needles of flavor. So precise.
