Translate to English Einnehmender, kühler, tiefer und vielschichtiger noch immer etwas nussig-hefiger und auch leicht pflanzlicher Duft mit sehr feinen, hellen gelbfruchtigen Noten. Klare, feinsaftige, wieder kühle, noch regelrecht frische Frucht, hefige und feine pflanzliche Aromen, geschliffene Säure, nachhaltig und recht dicht am Gaumen, gute Tiefe, deutliche, kreidige Mineralik, zarte Kräuterwürze, ausgesprochen eleganter Stil, viel Leben, sehr guter bis langer, straffer Abgang mit noblem Saft. Großartig.

Editor note: Translate to English Kühler, sehr tiefer, feinwürziger und floraler Zitrus-Kernobstduft mit zart hefigen, kräuterigen und nussigen Aromen, ganz leicht getreidigen Anklängen und deutlicher Mineralik und hochfeinen, komplexen tabakigen Aromen. Fest und doch ungeheuer fein im Mund, feinsaftig, hefig-nussig und etwas pflanzlich, sehr feine, lebendige Säure, nachhaltig am Gaumen, tabakige Spuren, eine Spur Milchkaffee, intensive, kalkig-erdige Mineralik, mundwässernd, gewisse Tiefe, noch kaum entwickelt, sehr guter bis langer Abgang. Unwiderstehlich und dennoch eigentlich viel zu jung.
