| TASTING NOTE: ... a more chiselled, vibrant, high-energy style ... I love the crunchy-firm acids and the deftly integrated (low-impact) wood influence, and the pronounced stoniness ... this is a shimmering beauty, tightly wound, fresh, limey, infinitely drinkable already, but surely destined to improve in the bottle over the next couple of years. Lovely stuff. Tasted June 2016. Score - 91 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, June 29, 2016) |
