Nice nose of smoke, smashed rocks that echo slate, some rubber (but the good rubber) and a nice clear aromatic expression. Seems like it has more to give. Palate is ripe but also energetic and pillowy. Lovely green flavors and a long finish. Like a liquid satin. Very juicy on the finish. Balanced and pure. Good now but no fireworks. Let’s see if air provides the fireworks. Some nice sea breeze and saline aspects now on the nose. It’s nice but not sure if it will make the cut. I’m sure it’s a billion dollars.

No notes, aperitive pour by the pool at friends. Crushed rocks, zippo lighter scents on the nose. Some peary and lemony notes too. Great acid drive carrying the wine very far. Pear and lemon. Minerally through and through. Great stuff for about 11 eur retail price here in France. It's a steal!

Stodgy character, but refreshing.
Pebbles and lemon scented jasmine water.
