Had no idea what to expect from this one and very pleasantly surprised. Drank over 3 nights with no noticeable decline. Notes of melon dominate, with some preserved lemon. A bit oily on the palate, but not a negative. Overall a nice wine, especially at the price.

Pleasantly surprised how beautiful this showed. A lot of petrol upon initially opening but nice melon (cantaloupe) and salty mineral notes with rich texture and good acidity.

(accidental brunner) Lemon curds, melon, soft oak, light zest. Silky concentration, crisp, peach/apricot stone, oily, with pomelo rind and sweetness on the light and clean finish. Interesting development!

Great weight, balance and complexity. Grapefruit and slight petrol on the nose. Citrus fruits, minerals, and smoke on the palate.

not typical GV, it shows some honey and mineral, with a reflashing acidity, cool.
