  Crisp green apples, slight mineral notes. Hint of oak. High acidity. Drinking well now, would not hold longer.

  Fragrant nose delivers earthy, leesy, chalky mineral notes inter-mingling with lemon citrus and orchard fruit. Nutty and smoky notes add complexity as it warms in the glass. The medium-full bodied palate is concentrated and structured with juicy, finely tuned citrusy acids balancing the citrus, honeysuckle, chalky and salty mineral flavours. It's nicely textured with a slightly chalky mouthfeel and more minerally on the mid-palate. Oyster shell, lemon citrus, and honeysuckle notes linger on the smooth, long finish.

  Mineral, lees, apple and citrus nose. Mid-weight with distinct flavours on the palate and brilliant acidity; long and vibrant finish.
  4.5/5

  Wow, that is kinda approaching the limestone nose of a Raveneau. Not as pronounced. But still darn good.
