Tasting notes
Green, steely, very lively. Sleek, smooth, bit of a lounge lizard but great depth. Good enough (JR)

Pale, green-tinged color. Pure aromas of lemon, lime, ginger and dusty stone. Juicy and penetrating, with terrific cut and thrust to the mineral and citrus flavors. Very elegant wine, at once subtle and powerful. Conveys an impression of fullness without weight. Finishes minerally, pure and long. In its combination of minerality, freshness and power, this reminded me of the superb 2002.
