Estimate
This is an admirably concentrated wine with a supple mouth feel yet no loss of precision on the painfully intense, iodine-infused and austere finish that seems to go on and on. A knockout by any standard...
Reticent nose suggests yellow fruits, nuts and spices. Dense, sappy and tactile, with saline and toast notes currently dominating underlying fruit. Rich and intensely flavored wine, with an enticing sugar/acid balance giving it good verve.
Lean and tightly coiled, with its lemon, apple and stone notes locked up for now. There's energy and a vibrant finish, where the citrus and mineral let loose a little.
