Firing on all cylinders. Opening with an edge of reduction, fine oak, balanced lees component, similar to a great WBurg. With air it’s varietal character emerged, with ripe citrus, slight kiss of herb, and a complex array of mineral undertones. Incredible energy at 7 years old, one of the great SBs of the world IMO.

This is a serious Sauvignon blanc. So incredibly pure and packed with flavor. Thanks @Nathaniel DiMaggio this was a treat

Oaky but bright and exceedingly thirst quenching (nice Teutonic acidity).

Quite strong diesel notes at the beginning but soon crossed over to tropical fruits. Was maybe expecting a bit more....

Outstandingly rich smoke and minerals. Tastes aged an complex. Very little fruit. A total terroir-driven masterpiece.
