Evolved but still super-fresh with dried stone fruits and ripe citrus and white floral scents. Lively palate, with great balance, drive and minerality. Another five years should do wonders with this one. 92+

Amazing freshness with the 20+ age, spicy nose, pure minerality.
Hints of beeswax, shy quince, salty rocks, the purity here is just insane.
On the palate this hits with brilliant acidity (not far from Fino!), paired with spicy minerality and barely a hint of apples sprinkled with fleur de sel. Great depth and amazing electric tension.
This is brilliant! I am blown away. Wowza!

Stone, eraser nose. Stone fruit, great weight but carries it well like a DE. Pear pear pear. Nice resounding acidity/citric notes in finish. It's still SO youthful.
