Tasting Notes:
The nose reveals an enticing mix of peaches, quince, grapefruit, and a delicate toastiness, with hints of vanilla wood and roasted stone fruits. These aromas continue to unfold on the palate, which is weighty and tense, with a satin-like texture and dry finish. The stone fruit and citrus flavors shine through, harmoniously layered with the leesy, toasty wood notes that add depth and complexity. Well-balanced and youthful, this wine has a lengthy finish, and with continued aging, it will develop even further. Best enjoyed from mid to late 2021 and through to 2026+.
