Trademark aromatic intensity with rich aromas of ripe fig, honeyed citrus and sweet melon which blend with firmer notes of mineral, hazelnut and smoky flint. The palate shows immediate upfront richness with quince, peach and honeysuckle then tightens to youthful structure, length and minerality. With air the wine unfolds to offer mouth-filling texture and broad honeyed ripeness yet retains vibrant acidity and impressive mineral length. Vintage conditions result in a wine that offers great upfront richness with the promise of two to three years positive in-bottle development. Serve at no cooler than 55 degrees to ensure full flavor development.
