Had a couple of glasses of this two weeks ago. The medium-full bodied palate exploded in the front palate, and was quite sweet with excellent stonefruit and citrus flavours. It then totally disappeared in the mid palate, and emerged later at the very back of the palate and finished very long and much drier. Very interesting indeed. Quite tasty and intriguing now, but I'll wait a few years on my bottles for the mid palate to reemerge (A-).

Great effort. Fresh and complex nose, stony/flinty flavours with a lot of ripe yellow fruits. Quite tropical. A little bit of botrytis on the palate but perfectly integrated. Great balance, the sweetness is totally absorbed by the precise minerality and acidity. Gives a juicy and zesty finish. Drinking excellent right now but should even more improve over the next decade(s). Wine of the evening. Drink 2015 - 2050.

Sweet limey fruit but never cloying. Concentrated start and finish, but I agree with the note below that the middle is a bit reticent.
