(from a .50 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines aged in 60% wood). Here too there is a discreet touch of wood setting off the ripe yet cool nose of green fruit, pear, apple and algae scents. There is once again excellent volume and richness to the intense medium weight plus flavors that terminate in a zesty, even tangy finale where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. Good stuff that offers focused power and a sleek mouth feel. 93/2023+
