Lemon, wet stone, basil, overall subtle nose. Palate has more attack quite juicy and spicy mouthfeel with a endlessly salty finish. This is a superb wine and a versatile food companion e.g with white fish or grilled poultry. Highly recommended.

Great nose of smoky wet stones. Salty on the palate with a flavor of limestone and gunpowder but thins out a bit on the finish which leaves a fine, smoky residue. I think this vintage needs a few more years to fill in. 90+

Great freshness and mouth-watering salty acidity to start with delicious tangy flavors of lime, grapefruit and wet stones. Medium-bodied with excellent cut and concentration and even spritzy at this early stage but also showing real finesse. The finish is already complex with strong notes of sea water, ash and smoky minerals. Seems perfectly poised to gain complexity over the next 3-5 years. This is about as far away from an oaky Chardonnay as you can get! 91+

Oak, lemon, salt, yeast. Slightly creamy; only partial malo. I’d guess white burgundy blind; it’s built in that mold with the toasty oak.

Crushed apples, almonds. Hints of sherry and oak. Lime and olives. Funky in a good way! Fun stuff!
