Awesome stuff. Biscuit dough, baked apple, a bit of oak influence, beautiful effervescence and great acid. 2005 vintage, but can only imagine how it will be in 20 years.. — 7 years ago

alright here we go!!

nose. candied apple, pear, orange rind, and definitely get some petrol.

palate. powerful citrus, like biting into a lemon or a tart green apple. some grapefruit as well. really explosive upfront and then mid palate becomes smoother and more elegant.

medium + finish on that sour green apple note. opens up even more with time and the finish gets longer and longer. this is a really exceptional bottle of wine. — 5 years ago

Bruised apple, caramel suggest it’s time to drink up. The amazing, almost painful acidity adds wonderful tension to the otherwise aging body. — 6 years ago
