Estimate
Incisive, mineral- and spice-driven pink grapefruit, pear and peach scents are complemented by building violet, iodine and floral nuances. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering deeply concentrated yet lithe orchard and pit fruit flavors braced by a spine of smoky minerality and a touch of bitter citrus zest. Finishes sappy, nervy and extremely long, leaving floral and candied ginger notes behind.
Medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless, it has terrific purity (especially given the heat in the vintage) as well as lots of white flower, salted citrus, tangerine, and a kiss of rocky minerality.
Flowers and apricots are joined by hints of white pepper in this medium to full-bodied effort...zesty and fresh, with a hint of citrus pith on the finish.
Such wonderful apricot fruit, yet there is a sense of restraint too, it isn't an all-singing, all-dancing number...balanced and fleshy, satisfyingly rich and exotic... Long and pithy on the finish, lots of apricot-skin character.
