Concentrated yet lively, finishing with lingering florality, a touch of sappy red berries and very good persistence.”

Dry and focused in the mouth, offering blood orange, bitter cherry and honeysuckle flavors that show excellent depth and focus and become sweeter as the wine opens up. Closes taut and minerally, displaying impressive tension, persistence and a powerful floral note.”

“Bright onion skin. A highly complex bouquet displays intense red fruit, orange zest, pungent flowers and mineral qualities that expand with air. Sappy, concentrated and light on its feet, offering mineral-laced strawberry, blood orange and honeysuckle flavors along with suggestions of white pepper and dusty minerals. Dry, sharply focused and tightly wound, delivering superb closing power and lingering florality.”
