Intense aroma of fruit, green apple, apricot, vine peach, white spice, quartz, vanilla and wild mint. Very complex, attractive and lush.
Intense mouth, mineral, white-fleshed fruit with superb balance between granitic acidity, viscosity and elegant structure. Deep. Concentrated, dense, silky-firm texture with the nervous final, tense and very long.
