A bottle opened and drunk after 2 hours air. Huge concentration and structure, potentially a great wine but in need of more cellar time. Very intense and powerful. Lemony, mineral and tactile. The last glass drunk the next evening exactly the same. Tight and closed. Ideally hold until 2027+. (94-96+).

Fantastic wine. Tightly coiled and reduced initially but with some air, it blossomed with lemon and crushed rocks. Very mineral on the palate, with great acidity and long persistence. Excellent wine with years to go.

Golden in color in the glass with a small meniscus. Showing some age on the nose, with butterscotch and almond paste dominating, much to my surprise. Fantastic in the mouth. Vibrant lemon-lime and minerality mixed together, with those flavors lingering over a very long finish. Delicious. From a 750 purchased on release.

Restaurant purchase 375 ml. First bottle was oxidized; second was in good shape. Perfume on the nose with occasional hints of licorice and a big rich wide mouth filling waxy savory palate and a finish that goes on forever.
