Always struggled with their style and further adding to that struggle is their price point. While they are a known quality producer, oxy just isn’t my wheelhouse.
Bruised apple & Bosc pear, apple cider, grapefruit, marzipan, saline, some caramel notes, yeastiness, bread dough, crisp chalkiness, limestone marl, touch of unsweetened graham crackers, withering yellow lilies, pleasant acidity and while it has a nice structure, balanced, but the finish falls into an unpleasant over oxidative bitterness/bite.

2018 base. Outstanding. Stone and austerity mask ripe lemon curd, stone fruit and baking spice. The palate is wow, with ethereal mouthfeel, a lightness that you wouldn’t expect from the ripe profile and layers of length and complexity
