Another astonishing bottle. The minerals and alcohol give a sense of body and bitterness that balance out the ripe notes of white fruits and citrus. Still a little disjointed, this will merit a higher score once it harmonizes.

Abundant ripe and fresh apples, pears, and peaches and mineral on the nose. Great acidity and minerality that imparts bitterness. The wine has a lot of body in the mouth due to liquid minerals and some probably due to the higher level of alcohol in most wines in this vintage. This is really lively and should age for a long time. I will watch to see how the wine develops and maintains balance under the higher alcohol regime before I raise my score, but this is a striking wine and should get there. 95+ potential

PNP decanted, this was so good, open and approachable, great nose and palate. But certainly can do with more cellar time and will only get better.

Third bottle with similar expression as before. Some wood tannins emerged on second day. I bought more.
