Lots of body on the palate and very fine tannins suggest minimal skin contact and meld with medium acidity. Same apple fruit, minerality, black tea are wonderfully complex. A bit cider-like, and in a good way. Persistent finish.
Edit: after two hours, stone fruit notes emerge; peach and apricot.

Zippy acidity with a slightly waxy mouthfeel. A little wound up at first but opened up after being decanted for 3-4 hours (and really shown on the second night). Explosive notes of fresh lime zest, smoked sea salt (not smoke taint, but more similar to a fine tequila), hints of white flowers, and intriguing touch of black tea. Lovely now and could probably hang on for several years. This was a very refreshing vintage and seemed to have less skin contact than previous vintages.

A nice wine, but very little character. It was reasonably balanced and slightly acidic, and a moderate amount of fruit, but really no strong character.

Musty apples and pears with slate on the nose.

Natural, tasty and enjoyable, but a little uneventful. Muffin liked it more than I did. Maybe I'd appreciate this a little more with some age?
