The taste is fresh, round, harmonious, fruity, elegant, vivid, and dry, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with well-structured, well-integrated, good texture, perfectly balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has mineral, raspberry, apricot, creamy and white fruits flavours. The finish is long, round, lingering, flavorful and vibrant. This wine is impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
