Tasting note
Bright pale yellow. Smoke, minerals, menthol and flowers on the slightly reduced nose. Juicy, spicy, intense and bright, with terrific penetration and cut for 2009. A hint of nutty oak gives this very young wine a touch of sweetness but it will nonetheless need several years of bottle aging to harmonize. Loads of potential here
Score: 93+
