(from recently replanted vines totaling 1.04 ha; aged in 50% wood but only a small percentage is new). This is also ripe but agreeably cool with its very fresh aromas of green fruit, just sliced citrus and oyster shell wisps. There is exceptionally good volume and richness to the more concentrated and markedly more powerful larger-bodied flavors that deliver excellent depth and persistence on the robust finale. This won't win any awards for refinement but then again, refinement isn't why one buys Valmur. Drink: 2030+.
