Reassuringly pale in the glass. Fresh on the nose with hints of pear and delicate oak. Sinewy on the palate but with great elegance and surprising depth and persistence of finish. Great food wine, drinking well but no rush.

Tons of minerals--rocks and limestone; light pear, vibrant, clean, medium bodied, yet airy, focused, and balanced all the way through; a touch of citrus kisses the finish. Stunning for this level, or any level.

Stunning, refreshing wine. Nose of bright citrus complimented with lemongrass and other light herbal notes. Complex, fresh palate of exotic fruits with bracing acidity. Excellent finish. Drinks well now with oysters and shellfish, and can cellar for at least 5 years.

I like the bright acidity and freshness of the fruit here, but found the wood to be quite excessive for such a modestly proportioned wine.
