Full-bodied, dense and satiny, it's layered, concentrated and multidimensional, with the most structure and substance of any wine in the range, but also the greatest need for patience to realize all its considerable potential.

The palate is well-balanced, steely and strict, with fine intensity and a saline finish. But it doesn't quite have the precision of Fevre's best cuvées at the moment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarrel Sample: 91-93\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e92 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWine Spectator: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreengage, apple, lemon and mineral flavors are aligned with a bright structure and chalky texture in this lively white.
