  Popped and poured. Color is a bright, vibrant gold. On the nose, there are notes of slate, petrol, and some peach. In the mouth, the wine is sweet but structured, leaving impressions of apples and citrus. The finish continues to leave the sweetness and minerality hanging. Overall, perfectly enjoyable, although not a wine that stands out from the crowd. 90 points.

  Stunning. Masculine slate expression with layers of spice and ripe stone fruit. This is so concentrated but so lifted and crystal clean. Really shows old vine finesse. Beyond the most primary stage and hinting at eventual maturity, but it won't peak for a long,long time. Be patient if you can, but it's not a crime to drink it now.
