Popped and poured but really could have used a couple hours in the decanter. Took awhile for this wine to strut its stuff, but when it did, look out! If a white could be muscular this bottle is the definition. Classic wool, quince, and apple and brimming with acidity. Sec through and through and not going anywhere. If you open, decant. 93pts

Superb. On the nose: mango skins, gun flint, sesame oil but blows off Palette: lovely chalky minerality, and an exceptional open of light salinity, mango skins, and white flowers, leading into an elegantly rendered sweetness with a long crisp finish. Exceptional rendering and notable balance, tending toward flowers and away from tropical notes as it opens up.

Taut and tense, minerally and chalky this had flavours of green apple and quince pear. Fresh and dry, there was a little honey peeking through kept in check by the delightful spine of acidity. It had intensity and vibrancy with fine balance and an excellent length of finish. A class act. CHP 92 pts

I agree with recent tasters of this drink. If you have ‘em, hold ‘em. Or drink them! Good vintages of this wine will age 25 years + no problem.

Very good. Stone fruits, delicate acidity and minerality. Light crips sweetness. It will get better.
