Estimate
Deep, very clear and cool on the flinty and lemony nose...reveals lovely, spicy flavor and gets more and more intense with more aeration. Full-bodied, clear and elegant on the palate...very intense and powerful...with a very long, complex, very salty and tension-filled finish.
Pungent mint and sage are married to toasted grain and resinous as well as lanolin-like notes...palate is polished and expansive if possessed by a slightly tense stand-off between herbal and woody, piquantly citrus zesty and tropically fruity flavors...finishes with thrust and grip...
It has an almost Viognier-like smell with its exhilarating scent of mandarin and apricot...generous expression of sweet juicy fruit.
