Click here to become a Premium Member and see them now.From 100+ year-old, ungrafted vines, this has a lovely, medium-high to highly aromatic nose that seems a bit austere with stony mineral, lime citrus, and grapefruit aromas. It's highly concentrated on the full-bodied and dry palate with delicious mineral, lime citrus, and grapefruit flavour replays. Exceptionally well-balanced with a very nicely textured mouthfeel and saline notes on the mid-palate. Stony mineral flavours linger on the finish, with excellent length. Should age gracefully to the early 2030s. Tasted Oct. 2023. Score: 94+ pts
