From one block, nearing 40 years old, organic since '99; fermented wild in oak, 20% new, mlf blocked. Wood provides a savoury overlay here, not overdone, and not in a glossy new oak way, but rather with the older oak chiming in to give it a nutty, stone fruit kernel character. There’s engaging tautness through the palate, with drive and freshness, plus the continuation of that savouriness accenting white nectarine and citrus notes, a little spice detailing.
91 points, Silver.
