Powerful petrol and tropical fruit on the nose topped with orange peel and japanese pear. Delicious layered palate of childishly playful acidity, citrus notes, deep minerality and fantastic mouthwatering finish. Wine of the flight with great potential to age. #airfrance #lapremiere

Simply outstanding.

Despite being a touch too high in alcohol for my liking (though served at more or less room temperature), the interplay between citrus and stone fruit on the finish was truly sublime.
