Pungent, punchy and floral with carrot, ginger and petroleum. Smokey with a citron zest nose, bracing high wire acid, and so much aching minerality on the palate it’s kind of painful but still so delicious. Watch out.

Another wow nose. More tropical and fruit driven than the Steinberg. But tons of airy minerals and super crystalline. Citrus oil. Wow really high tones crystallized citrus notes. Honey, flowers. So so complex. So different than Steinberg. I love terroir. Notes of white and oolong tea. Sick. 9.7 nose. So effin’ complex. (Effin’ = fucking). Wow. Wow. What a texture. This is preposterously mineral. Just a mineral wash. Texture has all the fruit, mineral, tea, honey and slate notes all integrated perfectly. The way they pack so much flavor onto a silk string versus a thick rope is really compelling. Intense crystalline structure and a wonderful piquant acidity and freshness. So long and well integrated. Bananas. (Not the flavor, what the wine is.) nose gets crazier and crazier with air. Wow the complexity is insane. Just insane. A special wine. Another that might be a 9.7. Really long and gets to every nook and cranny.

No formal notes. Fabulous. Quite aromatic at this stage and intensely mineral. Great texture & complexity.

Nose is mineral and elegant peach flowers. As this opens there is a sense of deep ness.

Palate is clean mineral. A stream of finely pureed rocks seeped peach flowers. Some peach skin. A hint of citrus.
