Rubber, frangipani, lillies, clementine, white peach, candied grapefruit, slight honey. Quite dry, crushed slate like feels in the palate. Good finish, length is okay. Works wonders with pork.

Refreshing, crisp and refined. Easy on the palate and goes down a treat. Another bottle garçon

Pale lemon color. Very pungent petrol smell some peach and kiwi. Dry high acid, low alcohol and low body with medium finish.

Very flowery, potpourri like nose. Interesting, but don’t really like it. That carries through to the palate with elements of rose. It’s complemented with dry stone notes.

Nariz: limon y piedra mojada.

Boca: seco y crisp. Buena acidez (M+) y mineralidad.

2014 vintage
Чуть закрытый нос. Лимонная цедра, осока, незрелый белый персик, мокрые камни; при нагревании розовые лепестки, маракуйя, личи. Строгая вертикальная кислотность, выраженная минеральность. Еще довольно молодо, нервно и напряженно, но тонизирующе и пронзительно.
