I tasted this wine over a three hour period, wondering if any holes would appear in its story. It simply appeared too good to be true at first, almost too proper and perfectly behaved. The only thing that happened though was that it improved, and if anything became even more seamless. I guess if you had to describe it you would say that it smells and tastes of grapefruit, matchstick, white peaches, youthful creamy oak and toasted nuts. But it's more than that- it screams 'fine wine', the texture of it at once silken and caressing but with a kick of persistent, intense length in the tail. There's a fair amount of winemaking influence here but it is all wound into the wine beautifully. 96 points- drink 2011+
