Written Notes
Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is yellow and light. On the nose it is open, wide, intense, refined, fresh, seductive and complex. The taste is harmonious, focused, firm, refined, and dry, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, well-integrated, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has citrus, mineral, white fruits and petrol flavours. The finish is long, lingering and pure. This wine is sophisticated and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
