Notes of pineapple, Meyer lemon and gooseberry coalesce throughout, with lively acidity tempering the roundness. Hints of sea salt weave in too. Great purity of fruit, and another excellent vintage of this.

Deep lemon color. Pronounced aromas of pineapple, lime, lemon, mango, struck match, smoke, gooseberry, salinity and a bit of vanilla. Dry, med(+) body, med alcohol, high acid, long finish. A lot of tropical and ripe citrus fruits with concentration. Palate is rich and yet fresh supported by acidity. The long and tropical finish is quite pleasant. The wine is beautiful now yet will improve over the years. I’d probably try to grab more bottles of this. 92/93+

Agree with the abundance of tropical fruits - especially guava and pineapple. I like the reserved note of oak, nothing excessive and added a nice richness while still maintaining plenty of energy and poise. I bet this will be on a upward trajectory for a few years and plateau for a good spell.

Lime jelly candy, guava, grapefruit zest, pineapple, toast, hint of burnt sugar, and hint of baking spice. Moderate oak is very well integrated, and gives a slight pleasant phenolic texture on the finish.
