Tasting
Color Desc primrose yellow aspect
Aroma A cooler and more restrained nose is comprised by notes of mineral reduction, lemon zest and a floral top note. slightly chalky bouquet with hints of linseed and walnut in the background. ripe pear and passionfruit aroma and suggestion of fresh butter
Palate The sleeker if not denser middleweight flavors also possess a lovely sense of tension and vibrancy. The palate is very well-balanced with a smooth, slightly creamy texture counterbalancing acidity. well-balanced richness here
Finish stonier and youthfully austere well-balanced finish. quite a persistent finish. rewardingly long finish
Aging Potential 2026-2040
