  Reductive, a touch of oak, citrus, and good minerality. Punching way above its weight and feel like it’s still so young and fresh. Lovely now but can continue to hold.

  Slightly developed straw color. Nice nose with lots of minerals, flint, citrus, stone fruits, some leesy/yeasty richness and a touch of oak/spice like crushed white pepper. Palate is youthful, rich and has freshness from medium acidity. Lots of lemon, slight buttery/spicy oaky tones in the background, but in good balance now. Finishes somewhat long and pleasant with lots of minerality. A very nice wine that drinks much younger than I expected. It is not the most complex wine in the world, but it is clearly very well made. This would easily keep and maybe even slightly improve for another 10 years.

  Some mineral but too much acid for my palate. Seemed out of balance to me. Maybe it will integrate in the future? Kind of doubt it.

  Similar impression as the last bottle. This is a wonderful bottle of white, and at the price point is just as easy to open on a weeknight as with a special occasion dinner.
