Lemon grass, buttercream, high minerality. 2011 vintage

2006

Sampled 3/2018 at ProWein (Germany).

Drinking nicely - with a light yellow colour. Good weight and viscosity with a well rounded mouthfeel. In the zone right now.

Nice clean - not too much oak. Good grip and tannins. Smooth mouthfeel with elegant creamy finish. Nose had pleasing elements of citrus and fresh sweet grass

Drinking well.

Third time is a charm. Lemon color. Opulent nose of ripe lemon, tropical fruit and yellow apple with noticeable oak. Medium+ to full body, needs time to integrate the wood. Long finish.

Love love. Perfect white wine. Drank on the World at Marina
