Deep nose with prominent mineral notes, herbs and spices, ripe mandarines, limes and stone fruit. Concentrated and creamy on the palate, elegant acidity, prominent tart mineral notes, also fairly prominent herbaceous notes, prominent grip, quite a cool style, full-bodied, firm structure and good depth, opens up with aeration, bedomes ever more complex and deep, long finish. Needs some time to mature.

Editor note: Pomaceous fruit and stone fruit on the nose, vegetal, spicy, earthy notes, hint of pepper, prominent mineral notes. Juicy and slightly sweetish on the palate, ripe, partly candied fruit, prominent vegetal notes and a touch of caramel, concentrated and persistent, good depth, but totally unnecessary sweetness softens the contours, slightly tart phenolic notes, very good finish. The residual sugar robs the wine of some of its tension.
