Written Notes
Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow and and looking bright. On the nose it is open, fresh, ripe and forward. The taste is fresh, vivid, focused, and dry, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has smoky, apricot and vegetal flavours. The finish is long, lingering and pure. This wine is generous and transparent. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
