Minty, schist, very lemon/lime, salty and citric. Some tropical aromas sneak in with more air, and this loses freshness while gaining a slight oxidative edge. It's a nice wine but lacks cut and precision.

Flinty, reductive, love the style! Crackling intensity in the glass, mmmm, mouthwatering minerality. Very successful!

Bloody cherries, so juicy, gorgeous, perfumed, very pure. It has quite a lot of structure, and the longer this airs the more the structure comes to the fore and this starts to lock down. I love the fruit purity and the stuffing, this will need a bit of patience or a slow evening with a roast chicken.

A smoky, scorchy, ashtray thing jumps right out at me, and then John points out the green notes. Definitely a spicy, stemmy, bell pepper edge. It seems to be too much for the people around me, but I liked the edginess. The palate is a different story, deep, laser focused, really pure and very interesting. This is a classy and assertive wine.

Mmmm, seductive and juicy, so silky on approach but with very sneaky, dusty tannins. There is incredible structure hiding underneath the lovely fruit.

Mmmm, a big blast of pine forest, perfume and umami. Wow, that is a mouthful, utterly explosive, the energy and vigor on this is just nuts. Absolutely stunning.
