Terrific nose of lemon curd, minerals, smoke, crushed rocks, some light butter notes and lime zest. Some hints of fleshy citrus fruits as well. Gorgeous and so clean. Palate is energetic and steely with lots of acid and linearity. Juicy apple and citrus fruit and a long mineral finish. Needs air to unwind and I will be back. Terrific concentration and so salty on the finish with intriguing iodine notes on the mid palate. Really juicy ash coming together so quickly as it aerates. So harmonious. After this airs it gets a nice backbone and some elegant sweet wood in the mid palate. Now the finesse comes in spades and this is a 9.6 9.4 to 9.6 in 4 hours.

Gorgeous nose. Iodine, saline and hazelnuts. Also lime blossom. Faint hint of citrus and stone fruits. Exceptional minerality. Super elegant and intense with superb concentration and focus. Salty finish with profound acidity. Really evocative nose that shows a sense of place. Palate has terrific finesse. More than 19. 20 was a wash because of the fires. Long finish and stellar balance. Wow. Almost a 9.5. Really focused and linear. Yes this was a 9.5.
