If I were blinded on this I would have guessed Sauvignon Blanc. The aromatics are so herbaceous and tropical. It's delicious but it's fucking out for blood with how acidic it is right now. I drank over the course of four days and it didn't start to settle down until the 4th. I'm inclined to let the rest of my case sit for 5 years just to calm down a little.
92 Estupendo y jovencísimo. Amarillo pálido verdoso. Nariz predominantemente mineral, con algo de hidrocarburo. En boca empieza su recorrido, notas de caramelo de miel y limón, muy cítrico. Acidez importante y mucha estructura. Preciso, goloso. Hay que darle aún muchos años. Promesa de vino excepcional.
One of my favorite wines in the tasting. Beautiful nose with intense mineral and citrus fruit. Nice texture but with sufficient acidity to provide tension. Long, fairly tart finish. Sure to improve still
Lovely VdF, but needing some real time to shine. It’s lightly painful to drink now, there is so much stuffing. A truckload of minerals, with live wire acidity. Fruits run in the lime and green apple end, with some golden raisin lurking deep in the shadows. Theres just incredible balance and the structure is so lightweight, like the liquid version of the Zalto glass.

To borrow the title of a beloved Funkadelic album this is Standing on the Verge of Getting It On. It is still a tightly wound ball of yarn nearly at the point of beginning to unfurl. This bottle was enjoyable if not fully giving after a 24-hr decant. Enjoyed out of Zalto universal stems. Dense technicolour minerality, a bit of TDN petrol, buttressed by zinging acid. While it made an excellent pairing for Melissa Clark's cabbage & onion torta with speck, I will be sitting on my remaining bottles for a few more years.
