Estimate
...earthy sensations...developed aromas, hints of fennel and yellow fruit.
Mineral-accented tangerine, melon and pear nectar scents show a hint of smoky minerality that gains strength with air. Offers intense sharply delineated citrus pith, pear skin and quinine flavors that are complemented by a deeper suggestion of beeswax. Shows impressive energy and mineral lift on the finish, which hangs on with strong, citrus fruit-driven persistence.
...bright and complex bouquet of pineapple, lemon, white lilies, a nice base of salty soil, incipient notes of beeswax and just a touch of clay dustiness form the amphora portion of the blend. On the palate the wine is pure, full and quite elegant, with bright acids, excellent focus and grip, a fine core and a very long, soil-driven finish.
