No detailed note made, but this was showing very well on the nose, and still a bit tight on the palate. The nose showed some reduction, wax, citrus, peach, saltiness.

Was quite tight on the first day despite being in a decanter for a couple of hours. Citrus fruit verging on tropical ones like pineapple, with a waxy texture and briney finish. Very Valentini but so reserved; was much more expressive when I tasted the leftovers two days later which were absolutely superb.

This had a couple hours of slow-ox / air. I found it interesting but slightly tight and awkward. Unsure what to make of these wines, but more aging will likely help.

Wow, this is like sitting on the ocean and enjoying a huge plate of oysters. The bouquet is infused with crazy minerality and citrus fruits. With time some orange zest and slight nuttiness evolves, even if the wine is more on the reductive side. The palate is intense and quite long, really amazing for its rather low alcohol content. I guess it will easily evolve for 1-2 more decades.

Super nice if still young. Lacking some of the bass notes that older vintages have but this is supremely elegant, bright, complex. Great food wine
