Wow. Spice. Complex. So juicy. Man. Ethereal. So grace. What the hell how are these so good?

Killer wine. Caramel, honeyed and mineral nose with a palate that is luscious and textured. Wide open and sappy. Really showing its hedonistic side.

Nose: Smokey in a sexy wild child way. Almost savory. As this opens this gorgeous freshly pulverized sweet minerals. Wow.

Palate. Rich. Great yellow apple fruit. Popping acidity. Terrific. Sweet minerals.

The COVID vintage. More time spent in the vineyards than ever. Nothing else to do.

Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.

Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.

Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.
