Estimate
Very pure and stony, with a note of grapefruit zest around the edges of the blanched almond, honeysuckle, Jonagold apple and heather flavors...long, superminerally finish is amazingly pure and refined, with plenty in reserve.
Powerful aromas of citrus and pit fruits, oatmeal, smoky lees and licorice. Fleshy but focused, with juicy orange, pear and sweet butter flavors...smoky note repeats on the very persistent, chewy finish...
...notes of licorice, poached pears, honeysuckle, and citrus. Deep and full-bodied with good acidity...surprising length and richness...
Remarkable freshness on the palate, and ample spice too. Honeyed yet dry, and there’s a touch of saltiness on the finish.
