Wine notes:

In the glass, a golden beauty with a touch of amber. A restrained bouquet of ripe fruit and minerals quickly opens with some exposure to air. An amazing balance of sugar and acidity allows the taste of minerals to become the primary tactile impression. A soft ending conjuring up a rush of wet stones awaits at the finish. Very elegant with flavors of dried fruits combined with white flower jam. A young wine that possesses immense aging potential.

Reviews:

95 POINTS (WS) "Terrific aromas of spearmint, truffle, dried apricot and orange peel lead to flavors of the same, with the addition of a saline mineral essence on the finish. This is all put together on an elegant, harmonious frame, lingering with orange and stone aftertaste. Drink now through 2030." - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Magazine
