Was pretty smitten with the entire latest Cornelissen release. This was my standout: ferrous & fennelish, super fresh, alive and with a core of seriousness that makes me feel guilty for not laying this down for years.

High altitude vineyards. High toned. A definite step up over the regular Munjebel.

From the highest vineyards. Showing restraint at this early stage. Will be nice to see it in a few years.
