A benchmark vintage of Julius that will go down as one of the greats. Right now, though, it is still a baby showing a pale, almost watery, colour with a greenish tinge. Aromatics are powerful, yet focussed with a captivating exotic edge evidenced by layers of citrus, pear and guava. Great precision follows on what is currently quite a closed and savoury palate with stony minerality and citrus notes driving to a long, fine and detailed finish. A super wine that is a fantastic drink now and will only get better for some time to come.
