"A fully mature yet still attractively fresh nose features notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers and wet stone. There is really lovely intensity to the beautifully delineated and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that offer superb length on the citrus-tinged finale. This sleek effort has now reached it apogee though it should be capable of holding there for another decade. Tasted twice recently with consistent notes."
