Estimate
...light-footed and filigree character... A cornucopia of dried stone and tropical fruit, but also spices, dried herbs, a whiff of licorice and much else besides.
...very clear, intense and concentrated on the precise and succulent nose...stone fruit intermixed with chervil, tea and very fine slate aromas. Round and highly finessed on the palate, this is a sweet but very subtle, finessed and salty...with a piquant and highly stimulating finish. Fabulous.
Heady and head-spinningly diverse floral perfume, nut pastes and pit fruit preserves inform the nose and the luscious, glossy, creamy, delicate palate of this beauty. Nougat and quince jelly are the strongest midpalate impressions. Lime zest and fruit pit serve for welcome, enlivening counterpoint on a finish whose vibrancy and exuberance are amazing...
...the bouquet wafting from the glass in a refined blend of white cherries, pear, vanilla bean, honeycomb, a lovely base of slate and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, complex, fullish and suave on the attack, with a dreamy core of fruit, lovely botrytis lift and bounce, bright acids and excellent focus and bounce on the long, pure and very, very classy finish.
