Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, cinnamon and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach and lemon citrus, cinnamon spice and herb notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with nutty spice, mineral and citrus notes. Great now!

Young and aromatic with aromas of apples and pear. Off-dry, medium-full bodied, fresh / tart acidity with subtle soft and round tannins. The palate was showing notes of lemon, yellow apple, baking spices, nutmeg, coconut and some oak. Delicious!

Just enough fruit. A little toasty, with bright pear but you can see where it's going and it's a good path. Nice restraint and elegance.

Powerful spicy black fruit with a savory edge. Good intensity and high acidity with some notes of char.
