Pale yellow with hints of gold. Hair raising aromas of stone fruit, preserved lemon, mineral, a touch of vanillin oak. Penetrating fruit on the palate, fresh and delicious but approaching ripeness, high acids, smooth texture, medium to full body, low to medium alcohol (13%). Long finish.

Ineffable aromas of river rock, lemon cream, citrus rind, turmeric, and acacia blossoms. Limpid fruit on the palate with great tension and drive, perfect concentration on an uplifting piquante layer of very finely minced acids, moving into a bracing bitter back note of grapefruit rind crowned by an aromatic aurora. A wine in perfect balance, with great emotional drive, showing the deep energy of mature purpose.

Complex and emotionally moving melange of lily, lychee, and oyster shell on the exquisite elegant nose. Dense honeyed penetration of apricot fruit on the palate with a long acid train, aromatic lift at the back tinged with bitter lemon. A wonderful expression of power, elegance, and balance. 50 + 18 + 18 + 9 = 95.

Aromas of lemon grass, Ponderosa pine bark, and dry meadow. Round and mellifluous on the palate with a honeyed fruit core, great intensity at the back moving into a very long high note at the finish. Rustic charm, urban poise. 50 + 18 + 18 + 9 = 95.
