"Aromas of sliced pears, green apples, dried lemon peel. Medium-bodied with supple, gentle texture. Elegant and nuanced on the palate showing lovely restraint. Oyster shell and sweet thyme. Crushed stone, too. Shining acidity. Delicious. From old vines planted in 1984. Drink or hold."

"Wet stone and smoke accents are a minerally underpinning for notes of apple peel, clementine, lemon oil and green almond in this fresh, well-meshed white. Open-knit and lightly spiced on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 3 cases imported."
