It's a sensational 2004 that exhibits lots of plum

The palate impression of the middle weight flavors is relatively precise and especially so in the context of what is typical for the 2018 vintage while offering evident minerality and salinity on the balanced bitter lemon-inflected finish

This too is ultra-floral in character with a slightly spicier nose of hazelnut and an appealingly layered blend of both yellow and white orchard fruit

lengthy and ever-so-slightly warm finale

The palate's lively bead is tightly-meshed with notes of green apple

Alheit, Magnetic North Mountain Makstok Vintage:2024 It's a sensational 2004 thatThe 2023 Magnetic North comes from ungrafted vines on their own roots from a massal selection, though from exactly where has been lost in time. It has a vibrant bouquet that has slightly more energy than the Huilkrans, extremely mineral driven with notes of sea spray and struck flint. The palate is very pure and pixelated, perfect in terms of acidity, with just a hint of menthol toward the finish. Outstanding.
