Tasting notes
Bright green-tinged yellow. Lovely perfumed nose offers lemon, lime, pear, spices and crushed rock. Then surprisingly supple in the mouth, with sappy but ripe acids giving an impression of power to the citrus, nutmeg and salty mineral flavors. Very nicely concentrated high-altitude wine with noteworthy persistence.

Full medium yellow. Aromas of yellow fruits, honey and menthol, along with clove spice. Sweet, honeyed and a bit exotic; conveys an impression of breadth but also a slightly aggressive, hard quality. Here the wine's acidity is not yet integrated with its yellow fruit and wet stone flavors. Finishes a tad dry-edged.
