Hints of oak toast don't materially detract from the otherwise wonderfully fresh and cool aromas of green apple, lime, petrol and white flower. The muscular, firm and broad-shouldered flavors are clean, dry and solidly intense with excellent mid-palate concentration before culminating in a penetrating and mineral-suffused finish that delivers very fine length. This beautifully chiseled effort is quite backward at present but I very much like the upside development potential.

This white offers spiced apple and grapefruit notes, with nuances of spice. Powerful, along with a slightly coarse texture and finish. With air, this shows better integration and fine length. Best from 2017 through 2023. 340 cases imported. — BS
