Robert Parker – 93

A mineral-driven nose, a little stony at first with a touch of wild heather, then developing a touch of orange-blossom and forest floor. The palate is mercurial and rather unsettled, trying to find its a oegroovea . Medium-bodied, again quite sharp acidity with a green, stalky undertow. Well balanced if a little linear in style with a soft but impressively long, earthy finish. A second bottle was similar but showed more elegance and cohesion, a little "brighter". 93/100 and second bottle 94/100. (1,229 cases produced) Tasted February 2007. [Neal Martin, 01/02/2007]
