Terroir in wine (Taylor's wines, Alexandria): "Served blind. Smoky, mineral notes, quite rocky, a little almost a Sponti, touch of green apple and ripe apple. Medium plus intensity acidity, juicy apple, textured grip. Long, lovely, very slight alcohol warmth on the finish. Germany, Mosel, Clemens Busch?"

Fantastic and a bullet proof wine with positive evolution after being opened and re-corked for well over a week. A wine of energy, purity and minerality.

Back at 67: Was unsure about how this would show today given it's still quite young, but it felt completely ready after only around 30 minutes from popping the cork (no decanting). No sign of the vintage's high acidity - if anything this opulent wine was pushing on the boundaries of ripeness and sweetness. Very tropical on the nose, with crystalline aromas of pineapple, mango and burned sugar, then a little stricter on the palate with a return to the lush side of things towards the finish. Extremely delicious and drinkable.

Another excellent bottle of this. Similar note to my last one about 2 years ago.

Stellar stuff. Very young still, needs time, but already showing great minerality, precision and structure. Handles the vintage perfectly.
