Amazing nose - orchard fruit, almost too ripe but not - peaches with fleeting hints of lychee and pineapple. The nose also shows strong mineral elements, and hints of the savory. The palate is interesting, and not least because it has nothing to do with the nose. There is no fruit left! It's rocky and savory, and with the right amount of powerful acidity. More complex on the nose than in the mouth, but long and intense, and works very well with basically everything on our table, from beef tartare with mustard to the last tomatoes with fresh goat cheese to Swedish meatballs with lingonberries and pickled cukes. Excellent.

Big nose of peaches, pollen, florals, minerals. This isn't subtle - quite a bruiser. The palate is even bigger, and a bit rougher - peach, broth, salty, brown, bitter. Shows some heat. Finish is brown, salty, minerals and acid. Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 4/6, Finish - 4/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 0.5/2 = 13/20

Terrific wine, in prime pleasure zone. Starts off lean and fiercely mineral but widens in the glass with delicious peachy fruit, only slightly burnished with age.

Huge petrol nose on opening. Zack calls this "a mineral explosion". Over the course of dinner, the petrol recedes and more peachy fruit emerges. Petrol and minerality stay with the wine through the night. Good energy here, too. L'Apricio with Zack and Jeremy.

Dark yellow. Mature fruit on the nose. Rich and generous. More unctuous mouth feeling after a while. High acidity. Guessed it was a Zind-Humbrecht.
