  I got quite a bit of grapefruit on the nose. Less on the palate, but it is still there. Also, tea and minerals. Starts out austere, but as it warms up, it softens. I drank it with grilled chicken.

  Lean & taut; very crisp and dry with classic notes of hay developing creaminess. Not overly fruity, in fact quite understated, but all the better for it. CHP 87 pts

  At first this seemed steely and austere, but then developed much riper, sweatier notes of orchids and overripe cut rock melon, which when coupled with the firm acidity reminded me of Loire Chenin blanc.
