The two words on this back label that stand out are intense and age-worthy. This wine at five years old is still, almost prohibitively, youthful. Oak and vanilla (so lightly), lemon and lime and apple, fresh white flowers, lacy minerality, woodsy notes to finish, and enough acid to etch monuments. Monuments like this wine. A special bottle. Decanted one hour, and that wasn't nearly long enough.

Electric style, just when you think this wine might be too big the acid rolls in and takes care of everything.
