Tasting notes
Pale color. Soft citrus fruits, acacia flower and hazelnut on the expressive nose. Densely packed and bright, with a hint of spice lifting the flavors of peach, hazelnut, minerals and vanilla. This offers a sexy subtle sweetness (2.9 r.s.).

Cool and restrained on the nose. Very tense and vibrant. Whistle clean. Wait! Long and reverberating. (JR)
More minerally and less fruity on the nose, with ginger and quinine notes along with a raw, somewhat herbaceous peppery quality. Dense and concentrated but quite backward, with slightly disjointed acidity. Very sappy herbal and peppery flavors are not yet harmonious. This is extremely unevolved and hard to judge today but its texture and length are impressive.
