"(Bottled in late April): Exotic aromas of pineapple, mirabelle and lemon candy. Plush and fine-grained on entry, then sappy and salty in the middle palate, displaying almost painful thrust to its brisk yellow fruit and mineral flavors. For all its thickness and solidity, this very long wine's piquant minerality gives it outstanding verve."
