  PnP...nice and LONG DIAM 30...13% happy juice...this is very bright and zippy right out the gate...summer crisp peach and apple fruits...little wafts of reduction smoke, white flowers, lemon zest...the fruit is SO pure and crystalline...there is a salty crushed minerality that is very pleasing...lick of salt before a lemon squeeze...really goes long and deep, then a puckering dryness and white pepper spice slaps you in the face finish...WOW...lot of energy and tastiness in this wine...should drink well for 10+, but mine won't last that long!

  Pop and pour. Drunk over two nights.
  
  Flinty and chalky nose with lemon pith, asian pear, subtle wood that adds to the whole, and subtle florals, but mostly about mineral. Mid weighted chiseled and toothsome on the palate. Intense yet not heavy. This has a firm mineral acid backbone and is in a style I adore. outstanding if a step behind the terrific '21 and '19.
  
  Day two this has more focus, still some flintiness, but with a little more breadth and clarity. The fruit while still in a supporting role is more evident. Lovely and youthful. Harmonious.
