Estimate
An utterly vivid, kaleidoscope of aromas and flavors follow as this crystalline, utterly pure wine comes alive in the glass. As is often the case, the Initial stands out for its focus, vibrancy and tension.
Still very yeasty, along with malt and spice aromas and flavors. Firm and vivid, picking up more toast and coffee notes as the texture gets creamier. On the dry side and vinous in style. Distinctive.
...Juicy, finely etched orchard fruit and citrus flavors are complemented by notes of fig and anise. Becomes spicier with air and finishes with strong mineral cut and persistent smokiness...
Apple, pear and ginger, baked apples. Bready too. Very aromatic. Rich and almost chewy in its density. Full and generous in the mouth yet elegant, too.
