Wow, this is good. Electric bouquet that reminds me of an 01 with all its intensity and minerality. This is just packed and stacked with fresh ginger, lemon zest, waves of citric brightness, and a mouthfeel that bristles with tongue-tingling energy. The sweetness and layered unctuousness this displays barely register behind all the brightness and dry extract. The finish is wonderful, lingering on and on like a ginger and honey tonic.

Drinking beautifully. Bright and clear gold color, green apple and peach-pit nose, with a little bit of citrus early on the palate. Great body, nice acidity, with peach/apricot notes and a hint of secondary flavors coming on. Rainwater finish. Delicious.

I have really enjoyed 2002 for current drinking for some time now and this is a superb example. In that great place where the secondary is starting to take over but there is still some vibrant primary fruits left. Apples, peaches and pineapple with brilliant minerality. Very vibrant on the palate
