Written Notes
Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is salmon and light. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, refined, fresh, seductive and charming. The taste is fresh, harmonious, focused, elegant, fragrant, vivid, refined, and dry, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced, well-structured, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has floral, raspberry, creamy, apricot and smoky flavours. The finish is long, lingering and vibrant. This wine is impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
