 Tasted by Nicthebuilder on 9/28/2018: The extreme dryness coupled with high acidity and the fruit being slightly sour makes this hard work for me. It may come together with time but I wonder if the fruit will ever manage to rise above the acid before it’s too late.
It is definitely much more pleasant with some food, even if it’s just some nuts or olives. (571 views)
 Tasted by Keith Clark on 7/19/2014 & rated 89 points: No detailed tasting note. Huge minerality, especially chalk. Robust, acidic and needs food, decent with Indian. Complex, and I wish I had an opportunity to think an out it more. (1139 views)
 Tasted by beezer6 on 3/20/2014 & rated 92 points: Taste with H2 Vino at FHE.
Powerful indeed. Lots of mineral. Really lovely styling. Petrol. Bone dry, yup. (1281 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 7/17/2013: Bone dry and very mineral. Intensely linear and powerful. (1548 views)
 Tasted by nsellen on 7/12/2013: Arrid. Seeringly acidic. No fun at all. (1391 views)
 Tasted by Mr Ego on 11/1/2011: Slightly sweet but with firm acidity (505 views)
