Top Notes For
Amazing… and hard to explain. With time the bouquet is intense with mineral, floral and even tropical fruit aromas. Melons and lychee and stone. On the palate it is dense but lean, a product of the intense mineralilty and acids and a bit of phenolic bitterness. But then this fills out to be broad and giving and drenched in sweet acid, finishing with savory and salty elements.
Day 4 a fascinating petrol emerges. This is like a world class orchestra that’s just tuning up.
