Struck match and gunflint (a double sulphur whammy) greets the nose. The sulphurous haze lifts to reveal a wine of great purity and typicity. There are notes of lemon, slate and white peach. As it breathes there’s just a hint of the exotic with a little custard apple sneaking in. It is rich and textured but harnessed with some strict minerally acidity. It is supremely backwards with the barest whiff of a little toasty development.

2/1/2014 - Rani Does not like this wine: 86 Points
Somewhat disappointing. Slight oxidation and general tiredness on the palate. Plenty of acidity but lacking structure.
