COMMENTARY :

It is the colour of white gold and crystal clear. The nose is subtle and elegant with the zest of citrus fruits, white flowers and spices such as ginger and cumin and there are notes of flintstone, dried fruits and toasted almonds.. Well rounded wine, it has a mineral style with a lot of freshness. The attack is sharp and straight, the mouth is complex, an impression of great purety and rare elegance; very salty notes, chalky and slightly smokey and arachid notes joined by a bitter hint of citrus and pink grapefruit pip; powerful wine with a balanced acidity. The finish is quiet long, lingering flavors of lime and toasted almond. Excellent candidate for a 10 years of aging.
