Estimate
Ripe without excess...reveals a dense, flinty bouquet with aromas of exotic fruits, sage, mango, spring flowers and lemon oil. Full-bodied, seamless and satiny with a crystalline texture, it’s racy and tensile with a delicate salinity and elegant notes of autolysis.
...lighter, more sandy with brighter light... There's a silken, airy mouthfeel with delicate pineapple flavors and nectarine...long, mineral finish... Rather attractive.
A little nutty, a hint of caramel on the nose...flushed and fleshy... Richer. It has a broad strong cannon of power; smelted metal under kumquat and quince. Deep bitter grooves filled with fruit. Silken, sliding finish. Very, very exciting.
