This wine is structured and concentrated with plenty of citrus fruit on the nose, dominated by orange peel and marmalade. The palate delivers a cascade of apricot and peach flavors, thrilling acidity and a very long and complete finish.

"Very fresh and tangy with great purity and focus here. There is some wet-stone character to the waxed lemons, fresh ginger and honey. Intense, but really effortless and bright, with rather racy acidity. Some creamy nuttiness in the finish. Beautiful!"
