  Fully mature and now unctuous and layered with concentrated yellow fruit, honeyed mineral and spice accents. Still plenty fresh and long. Delightful.

  PnP. Flinty minerality, moving to gravel and then river stones with time. Lemon skin also. Lemon skin on the palette too, bracing acidity, tart lemon flesh, some under ripe stone fruit with time. The attack is quite delicate, but the flavours go on and on. Definitely waxy lemon skin, tart lemon flesh, and oak providing weight and seasoning rather than overt oaky flavours. The length is something else. Everything is in balance, and is really restrained and controlled like a ballerina. Highly youthful, if I was told that it was 2017 I would believe it. On the third glass even more purity.

  Pours an exceptionally youthful deep lemon. The youthfulness continues on the nose which is reductive upon opening with gun flint, waxy lemon peel, and dry stones. With time aromas of white peach, white flowers, and the faintest hint of white chocolate start to make itself known. Relatively light on its feel - a wine more about restraint than power where the fruit profile is tart, the concentration more than respectable, and the acidity bright. This belies its age.

  This has reached a nice level of maturity with no sign of premox. Delicious flavors of aged lemons and apples with notes of gun-smoke and a touch of mint. There is good acidity here which keeps it fresh and the finish shows a fine, subtle and nutty complexity with hints of soft caramel and chalky minerals. Quite an elegant CC and definitely ready now.

  The color is beginning to deepen and the nose has lovely notes of sweet corn kernel, chalky minerals, struck match and spearmint. More elegant than powerful but this is aging slowly and shows more concentration and complexity than a couple of years ago. Lots of gunflint and mineral flavors and quite authentic tasting if still a little shy. Will always be a lighter, finer and more elegant style.
