96 AM "This has begun to open though it still requires some vigorous swirling to coax the reluctant cool and airy white flower, ripe orchard fruit and spice notes to reveal themselves. The large-scaled flavors are impressively concentrated with a powerfully focused finish brimming with minerality that is almost painful as it etches itself into the palate. This is big and intense but impeccably well-balanced and actually comes across almost like a great Chevalier-Montrachet. For my taste this is still on the way up but not so far away that it would be a vinous crime to open one now. In a word, magnificent. Multiple, and consistent, notes." 96 AM "his has begun to open though it still requires some vigorous swirling to coax the reluctant cool and airy white flower, ripe orchard fruit and spice notes to reveal themselves.
