The nose starts with soft nuttiness, seeping lemon rind and a protruding minerality. Wonderful balance on the palate, with dancing acidity. Overall rich and vibrant.

Sometimes you get lucky and a bottle such as this shows up knocking at your front door. Open the door and invite this bottle to dinner!

Buttered popcorn. Doesn't get stuck in your teeth. Supple and balanced with a bit of a short finish.
