I was expecting the worst, given other notes here, but this was a pleasant surprise. Purchased on release and perfectly stored. Great fill level and great condition on the cork. Deep golden color. Definitely mature, with the fruits taking on a more aged, baked quality, but the acids were great and the minerality was strong. I would opt to drink sooner rather than later, but I'm not in a super rush on this.

Good richness and depth, but with excellent acidity and cut. Really coats the palate on entry, but finishes clean as a whistle with a lengthy mineral tang.

Nervy, edgy, long, precise and mineraly. Long and full of lip-smacking acidity. A bit young, but full of potential.
