Apple, fresh pears and hay flowers, rich and solid, though still somewhat reduced but truly pithy, some pome fruit in the “umami” mid palate, well balanced by vibrant acidity, promising.

Very fresh with a subtle but nonetheless mind-blowing varietal bouquet, showing hints of hay-flowers, yeast and fresh cuts of pome fruit, then quince jelly, citrus peel, aniseed and some ginger spice; super fresh & dry, medium-bodied, balanced and densely woven, with a fine-grained texture. Hints of fruit (see above) clinging to some fine phenols still to develop, very agile and persistent, with an enormous ageing potential.

Brilliant right from the beginning: fine floral fragrance combined with ripe aromas of nectarine & yellow peach; asparagus-like spice also plays into the great complexity. Powerful & concentrated, the bright fruit nuances return redoubled, characterised by elegance & cool freshness, gets right down to work on the palate, good persistent length & cellaring potential.
