Editor note: Quite a deep nose, pomaceous and stone fruit, hint of melon, spicy vegetal notes and some tobacco, earthy notes. Cool, bone dry style, restrained, delicately juicy, firm fruit on the palate, lively acidity, fairly prominent mineral notes in the background, more light tobacco notes, good persistence, has some depth, delicate trace of green vegetables, very well balanced, very good finish.
