  Complex aromatics of struck match, toast, truffle and flint. The palate is layered, vinous and pillowy. Fruit is perfectly ripe and there is good acid line. It is rich and powerful, with outstanding drive and persistence. In a wonderful place right now and perfect with a Sydney rock oyster.

  The longer this is open (which isn’t long, as the 4 of us finished it in about 40 minutes), the more weight this takes on. Brioche, Meyer lemon, sea breeze at the outset, growing in stature and intensity. Amazing richness and presence - yet fresh. Clementine, lemon, brioche finish. Gorgeous.

  Full bodied on the edge of oxidation without crossing over. Impressive richness and depth. (002048)

  Richard Juhlin Top 100 Day 2 @ Ecco Zürich; 2/25/2019-2/26/2019 (Ecco Restaurant Zurich): Not blind
  Great wine but for me 3rd place in the flight with CdM 2000 and Selosse Les Carelles. Feels more riped in palate than the other two ones (I know it is older). More winey, denser, you feel the oak use. Three years ago fresher and more precise. Great acidity. Fitting perfect to food because of its concentration. 96-97. For me and overall 3rd place in this flight
