The expressive nose offers up notes of petrol, flowers, pear, citrus and wet stone, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent volume to the impressively rich and powerful medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract on the focused, mouth coating and wonderfully persistent finish. 2012 is a robust vintage for this excellent wine that should repay up to a decade of bottle age.

Gorgeously lifted and chalk on the nose. Subtle flowers and oyster shells with lime and salinity. Great focus and precision.

Lovely and cool and sharp. Very defined and pretty with white flowers, oyster shells, chalk. Very balanced and correct with a supple, soft finish.

So complex, yet so subdued. Amazing. Minerality, lemon/lime, baked fruits, screaming acid, floral notes, herbs, etc, etc. so good. Thanks Doug!
