Super confectionary nose with apricot, kumquat, peach and more. Unreal minerals which is like a rock dust perfume. Really aromatic and wide open on the nose. Palate is so 21. Grippy and intense with rock candy like minerals and terrific peach and apricot fruit and some white cherries. This has fantastic structure and density. This will easily last 25+ years. Unreal concentration and such aggressive and unforgiving minerality which I am here for. This needs time to open up but what a fantastic wine. Wow after a a few hours this picks up major density. Awesome fruit and length. 9.6 now. — a month ago
Magnum purchased at the winery. Rested 9 weeks at home. Stunning balance for an ultra hot vintage. While showcased by the crystalline quartzite (sea stone personality in an area of thin slate) the wine is still driven by the pure harmony of tartaric acid, European delicacy of yellow apple, pear, quince, hay flavors and the light kiss of Czechian oak. In pure harmony - nothing aggressive. Sophisticated yet anyone would recognize its brilliance — 5 months ago
