Oh, yes!! A great, flinty, mineral white burg that will make those salivary glands spit! Great light earthy nose with just a hint of truffle.

Opened this on Saturday for some of the mafia and it was fantastic with the cheeses r2d2 and allred brought by.

HI=90

I didn't get the minerality, or at least did not note it, but I did like it a lot. My note: wow, really nice; smoky toast and oak; 94

I didn't see this wine. The Leeuwin was also gone by the time I arrived.

Well, if you had come over instead of sitting out the rain delay at the Cubs game, you could have had all the good wines, instead of the swill that was left. [got one more of the Leeuwin left, by the way]
