This wine is all about rocks, and not the polished and gentle kind. It rounds out after a decant and perhaps two hours, and it is actually very lovely, but there is no excess here, it is not a viscerally gratifying wine. It shows like distilled rock and there is also some wax and there are hints of fruit but the essence here is one of stone.

This is really good. Light petrol notes with a chalky minerality. Niice pure fruit, always with a sense of freshness with plenty of green apple, lime and a touch of star fruit. Excellent acidity, wonderful silky texture with a long finish. Palate is matching the nose with maybe some additional pear.

This is a dense bullet right now - hard, straight and to the point. Tons of acid, lemony citrus (a touch of lime), and just a hint of flowers if you work a bit. I think there's more here with a little more time... we'll see.

A very honeyed nose of minerals and flowers emit from the nose, showing good purity. The palate is compact, with tart acids underlying mostly lemon fruits. While this is relatively racy, there is also a delicate texture on the mid palate that becomes more evident with time in the glass. Very complete and classy. Enjoyable.

Had high expectations for this one, but was a bit disappointed. Under-ripe peach, a bit of petrol, medium finish.
