Starting the dinner with this wine was an extraordinary experience. It presented a sophisticated, delicate, and slightly perfumed bouquet, masterfully blending notes of chalk, bruised apple, damp cellar, citrus oil, wet earth, iodine, toasted almonds, and biscuit. The wine was focused and charged with energy, setting a high bar for what was to come.
Upon tasting, the wine revealed a concentrated, sharp, and resonating character that captivated the senses. Its depth and length were remarkable, offering a tasting experience that was both complex and nuanced. The finish was long and distinctly saline. Gorgeous wine.
