Estimate
...a vibrant, energetic stony nose that shimmers in the glass. The palate is extremely well-balanced and complex: citrus peel and orange rind at first and then subtle mandarin and spice notes flowing through later... Superb.
Restrained, pure aromas of orange zest, minerals and a touch of petrol... Broad, fine-grained and very dry; really thick, broad and mouthfilling but with no heaviness. Strong smoky minerality throughout. Finishes very long and bracing, with classic dryness and a faint bitter edge.
Soft wood sets off the mildly tropical nose that displays perfumed aromas of white peach, apricot, peach, spice and a petrol nuance. This is dense to the point of opulence with overt power and muscle to the lightly mineral-inflected flavors that terminate in a highly persistent, complex and mouth coating finish.
