Restrained citrus notes, particularly fresh, with lime, chalk powder and tarte tatin pastry. Medium-bodied, tight palate that’s super-zesty, with silky, persistent mousse and a polished, mineral finish full of salinity. Elegant and tight. Drinkable now, despite the exuberance, though there’s potential for aging.
The Wine Spectator 92 points: “Fresh and focused, with a cornucopia of flavors—ripe fruit (mango, tangy quince and tangerine) are joined by a minerally sublayer of smoke, stone and spice. This shows firm structure and intensity, but the overall juiciness of the acidity makes this very appealing right now.
