Unveiling itself anew, this bottle confidently fulfills its promises, presenting a luminous but intricate profile. It's a concoction of apricot, healing herbs, orange zest, and nuttiness, with honeyed pineapple for a tropical twist. Volatile acidity deftly interlaces through, enhancing each sip. Well-balanced and voluminous, it has a finish that's persistent and rich.
A blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio from 60-year-old vineyards of 10 hectares on marl and sandstone. Hand harvested grapes are fermented spontaneously for 22 days in open chestnut vats on skins. Aged in wood for 24 months.
Honestly, this blend didn't really deliver. It was complex in a negative way. Maybe we should've decanted it, whatever. Not that typical bomb in the glass, it has a nice and well-weaved VA into a bouquet of stone fruits, apricot, medicinal herbs, orange peel, nuts and pencil husks. A bit diluted, closed and not friendly.
