Score 93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Mar 2010

Bright straw. Captivating, pungent nose shows poached pear, licorice, wet stone and tobacco, with a subtle herbal nuance adding further complexity. Velvety, pure and dry but not austere, with intense minerality firming the lush orchard and pit fruit flavors. The very long, dusty, mineral-dominated finish refuses to let up. This densely packed wine would be great with a rich poultry dish, or with strong cheeses.
