Silex, 2017

Silex has a huge complexity of fruit that mingles with notes of crushed flint and transcends anything appellation or varietal – this is so clearly a very grand terroir. Verdant and peachy initially, then with a note of citrus cream on the palate, alongside fresh verbena and vanilla pod and bitter orange on sleek black flint. Layers after layer of flavour here, shimmering in the light and drawing you in to a core of firm, pungent minerality. Superb plus.
