Agree with Soyhead's note from May - this is delicious. From a vineyard planted in 1983 on clay & limestone soil, and organic. This is a new producer to me, and I have been making my way through a mixed case of their wines and have generally been pretty happy.

Decanted and consumed over two hours. Added a bit of depth with air, but held pretty firm. Light-moderate reductive nose. Moderate flavors of apple, pear, touch of lemon, with lightly dusy tannins. Moderate complexity/finish. Some upside over the mid term. 91-92.

Young, a bit reductive but not in that overly sulfur-y way that dominates. A good dollop of older (it seems) oak, again very judicious and appropriate to the fruit density, no butterscotch or high toast here. The nose never shows a huge amount, the palate is excellent, tons of density, mix of apple and tropical fruit, the finish trails off a bit. Medium-low acidity but not flabby. Definitely seems more old-school and the density could have this pass as a higher level CdB. Great value under $40. Tasted over a few hours out of a Glasvin Prestige glass.
