Tight at first with faint smoky and minerally aromatics leading into a palate full of stone, chalk and bright acidity - but with air this opens out nicely as fresh pear and white fruited flavours emerge and this gains richness, though still retaining the bright acidity and energy it had from the start. Very nice (and thankfully not premoxed!)

much more popular than the Poruzots due to its rich nose and riper fruit qualities - not buttery but definitely some toasty oak on the nose. it tasted more like lemon and tropical fruit.
