  Pop and pour into a decanter - an hour would have been a little better, as the wine opened up aromatically with a bit of warmth, but no big deal. In the glass, clear, rich gold. On the nose, a focused burst of citrus and tropical fruit. On the palate, initially a petrol/funk note that quickly steps aside to show a full-bodied, silky, almost waxy mouthfeel, paired with honeysuckle, papaya, and Meyer lemon that slowly unfurl, leading to a more structured and long finish, where some oak finally announces its presence. A fun wine.

  More expressive than previous bottle. Apricots and slight hazelnut notes on the finish

  Golden yellow in the glass with floral and mineral notes in the bouquet. Beeswax, citrus and mineral on the palate with great texture and a resounding finish. Drinking well right now, I’m not sure I would hang onto this past 2022. Worth Seeking Out.
