Notes from day 2 open. On the nose: peach, pineapple, basil, soft herbs. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lovely density, peach, pineapple, basil, kumquat. Stunning. Still primary.

Pop and pour. A fantastic btl, that just rendered the Girardin Eclat de Calcaire, which is a wine I adore, practically mute. On the nose: chalk, lemon, loads of stone, soft petrol, black pepper, honey, amazing complexity. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lemon, chalk, salt, soft green notes, then the juiciness builds, and so does the pepper to end on a radiant and intense note of warmth, lime and soft black pepper. Fantastic.

This bottle was not as good as the previous one, with seemingly less acidity and a noticeable touch of honey on the finish - possibly a flawed bottle, so not rated.

Light grapefruit citrus on the nose. On the palate, apple, white peach, and notes of lime and grapefruit on the medium finish, with strong mineral acidity. This was an excellent value at about $35.

Dry. Orchard and citrus notes with slate and spice accents. Graceful and complete.
