The Barry family's 42-year-old vines next to the Florita vineyard. Pale and bright. Talcum powder nose with some floral notes. Off dry. Very well balanced. Smoky and satisfying. Already a great pleasure to drink. User-friendly rather than austere but without obviously sweetness. (JR)

RS 2.1 g/l. Pale greenish straw. Pungent and racy. Juicy and salivatory. Corner of the Fiorita vineyard made by Barry grandsons. Very correct and juicy. But with a dry, chalky finish. (JR)

From 30-year-old vines in a small subplot within the famous Florita vineyard. Very mineral and muscular with notes of stones and a hint of lime (fruit), plus a bit of limestone! Very clean and refreshing. Bone dry but not too angular. Delicate and racy. Delightful. Great balance already but great potential too. (JR)
