Estimate
A beautiful and generous white, as always, with sliced baked apple and hints of pie crust, as well as pralines and vanilla flavors. Full body, lots of fruit yet a vivid and brilliant aftertaste buttressed with lively acidity.
Precise and well-structured, with floral lemon and apricot aromas and sleekly complex lime and stony mineral flavors that finish with laser-sharp crispness.
Ripe melon, tangerine, vanilla and a hint of smoke on the intensely perfumed nose. A subtle hint of leesiness emerges slowly and carries onto the palate, which offers concentrated Meyer lemon, honeydew and toasted brioche flavors accented by a dusty mineral nuance. Silky and focused on the impressively long finish, which leaves zesty mineral, oak spice and iodine notes behind.
...rich, heavy wine...packed with ripe and lush tree fruits, and those flavors are matched with generous barrel toast.
