Tactile, juicy and utterly gripping in fact still almost painful today. Powerful salty minerality and penetrating acidity currently dominate the wine's lemon oil, grapefruit and floral flavors, with the wine showing a weightless impression. The dusty mineral driven finish stains

striking wine

Surrounded on three sides by the North Sea

and this is one of the best he has produced

and this time it's an often-underrated but delicious vintage that sits in the shadow of the most prestigious years of the last decade

Good value also compared to the 2015 and 2016 - a must buy for me

It may not have the immediate appeal of the legendary 2000 but we were all agreed that it is unquestionably a better wine
