One of my favorite whites in the world. Nose starts out flinty with little fruit but as all fans of this wine know it unfurls. Some light yellow fruits and intriguing minerality. Palate is unreal. Intense and structured almost like a red wine. So pure and clean. Balance is extraordinary and it’s very young. Chewy and dense and some of the classic Simone Blanc flavors emerge on the very long finish. Like a lanolin nuttiness. So long and so persistent.

A cerebral experience. Little aromatic teases peak through after a good decant, which I'd recommend. Perfumed flowers. Honey, beeswax, orange zest, a delicate dish of potpourri. Interesting angles and textures. Salty, waxy, oily, with a sour apricot finish that doesn't give. This reminds me of the Lopez de Heredia Rosatos and Bianco. The same waxy salty tradeoff of honey and citrus. Maybe it's a reasonable comparison or maybe my brain is just reaching for connections.
