Written Notes

On the nose it is open, youthful, fresh and pure. The taste is fresh, focused, fruity, vivid, and dry, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blackcurrant, herbs, citrus and mineral flavours. The finish is long, lingering, pure and flavorful. This wine is a good every wine and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years and decant at least 5min before tasting.
