“A tantalizing flinty, minerally note piques interest in this full-bodied, well-balanced wine. The nose is rather reduced and chalky, then the palate is lively in lemon and lime zest, flint, limestone and lemon meringue flavors. It’s complex and rather tight and closed right now, but will offer good complexity and polish with a bit of time. Drink or hold.”
“This bottling embraces the earthiness of this appellation, showing aromas of ocean-drenched rocks as well as dried lemon peels. The palate is very tense and crisp, with bright lemon and light apple flavors pairing to that stony streak, as a pine nut warmth shows on the finish.”
