I was a bit disappointed by this. Bone-dry, acidic, very cheniny and tannic with a fuzzy, woolly, texture. The fruit leans toward grapefruit with some apple/pear tones but there's neither a lot of fruit concentration nor a lot of minerality. Just lots of acid and fuzz.

Still young, tight, unevolved. Only development since last taste 3 years ago is on the nose -- and it's horehound, of all things. Fortunately, I love horehound, so the future looks bright. Guessing its peak will come in another 3 years, with an indefinite plateau afterward. Hold, don't waste.

Honey and flowers on the nose. Good wine with food. Hard to describe... There's little acidity but that's no problem in this wine. Beautiful.

Great acidity and minerality. Drank beautifully with Squash soup. David and I loved it.
