  Fabulous!
  
  Nose is slightly muted, possibly shut down.
  
  Honey sweetness but so complex and mineral. The tartness and mineral make you forget the sweetness. The finish is so stoney the wine seems dry.
  
  So good you can drink it now but wait 10-15 years for full greatness.

  Honey golden yellow. Superb aromas of figs, honeyed fruits and and lush herbs on the nose. Wonderfully juicey, acidic and intense of the palate with delicious apricot and grapefruit coating the mouth and at the same time the wine has an ethereal weightless profile. Wow. Absolutely fascinating wine.
