Something very distinctive and almost sour on the nose. Massive density. Very distinctive. Very much informed by terroir rather than grape variety. Grips the palate and doesn’t let go! Honey and stones on the end. So long! Hors classe. (JR)

While this was a warm season leading to richness in many wines from the region, the Silex 2020 shows ripe fruit, but there's no sense of being overblown. The fine line that races through many wines relying on flint-based parcels is there, carrying the nectarine and oak-derived vanilla flavors, but its influence never tips into austerity nor firmness. There's a sense of tenderness that runs through its core while remaining light in body.
