Showing some age. Faint nose/light flavors of of stone, green fruits, a bit of oxidation, still some acidity, but not fresh, with alcohol on the finish. No upside.

Very light oak / vanilla notes, substantially mellowed with age. Clear clean acid, green apple notes on the palate. Beautiful wine that shows what Grgich can become with time.

clean and clear, medium leom greene core w/ watery rim. Developing
on the nose it is clean with medium intense aromas of; oak, butter, passion fruit, lemon, yellow apples, some stonefruit/tropical fruit. Developing
on the palate it has medium+ aciddity, medium+ %, body and flavour intensity with aromas of; oak, lime, som tropical fruit, butterish mouthfeel, something a bit greene, almost like gooseberry. Medium aftertaste.
high $ price with potential for agening, 2-5 more years maybe. It is intense and quite complex but has too high % and that makes is not that balanced in my opinion. Lacks a bit concentration also too be of outstanding quality. Lenght is almost long and is driven by the acidity and oak flavour. very good quality, 87-88p
