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.

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