A pronounced and expressive nose of pears, candied ginger and apricots. The palate is full bodied with dried apricots, white flowers, ginger and pear peel followed by a backbone of minerality and a long finish. Beautiful

Always delicious. Golden hue; apricots on the nose; plenty of acidity and minerals in the finish. Oily and unctuous and great.

So nice to get over my cold and have this as my first wine. White peach, full body, acidity and minerality on the finish.

One bottle corked and then this bottle. Amazing. Golden hue, gorgeous peach and apricot nose, viscous but not too thick on the palate, gorgeous fruit with perfect acidity and minerality on a long finish. Wow.

Delicious but just a bit short of sublime, pretty apricot like nose and floral start, well balanced minerality and acidity on a smooth finish.

Floral, apricot, white peach. Great full body. Long smooth finish with great tension of acidity and sweetness.
