Note di degustazione
96% from Piccadilly. Eight months in oak (86% new). 100% MLF. Lean and sleek, but there's loads of green fruit, smoky toast on the finish. Supple, persistent, focused. Lots of grand-cru-style intensity but without the old-fashioned oak or buttery dominance. (RH)

Full screwcapped bottle a heavy 1,550 g. From fruit unaffected by the terrible fires here in 2020 presumably. Matured for eight months in French oak barriques (86% new, remainder one year old). Pale greenish straw. A little richer on the nose than the current Australian norm. Hint of dried pineapple rings on the palate and quite a bit of chewy tightness on the end without that much in the middle for the moment. But it's clean as a whistle and ends on a short note of lime. Refreshing certainly! (JR)
Aromas of intense lemon and peach, as well as nectarine and flinty mineral nuances, alongside assertive oak. Thereâs depth and drive to the palate with vivid peach and nectarine flavors. Power with elegance. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Translucent straw. Vibrant, mineral- and lees-accented citrus and orchard fruit scents show fine definition and are complemented by jasmine, vanilla and iodine accents. Displays firm tension on the palate, offering smoke- and mineral-accented Meyer lemon and pear skin flavors that are slow to unfurl. The mineral note repeats emphatically on the tenacious finish, which leaves behind sappy Meyer lemon and floral notes. Made in 86% new French oak.
