Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow and medium. On the nose it is intense, youthful, complex, refined and pure. The taste is fresh, firm, refined, focused, and dry, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with complex, well-structured structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has white fruits, spice, apricot, citrus and mineral flavours. The finish is long, extensive and vibrant. This wine is fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 1h before tasting.
