This wine is incredible, boasting an intense and unique bouquet of smeared yellow apple, dried banana, an unexpectedly pleasant note of boiled onion, seawater, old socks, oil, and lanolin. It evolves beautifully on the palate, featuring an oily texture balanced by good acidity. The long aftertaste is flavorful with a hint of salinity. A complex, multilayered wine at the right age—simply stunning and delicious!
