Bright yellow-green. Vibrant nose melds crushed stone, iodiney minerality, flowers, mint and spices. Compellingly dense and solid without being heavy. Thick with extract but almost magically weightless, with superb energy and definition to its flavors of lemon, lime and crushed stone. Wonderfully dense wine finishing with powerful wet stone minerality. The most impressive of these young 2008s but the Preuses may be even more aromatic and vibrant. 92-95 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 09.
