Austere wine for a ZD, and advanced for a 2010. Nose heavy with petrol, orange peel. Crushed minerals, preserved lemon, iodine and sea spray. Much more mineral than fruit palate is medium + body, taught bracing acidity. Lemony with mineralogy and diesel trumping fruit. Fantastic, but not for everyone. $28
