Tasting notes

The nose shows complex reductive smoky aromas that are persistent and intense. It also expresses youth and vigour. Allowing the wine to open up is rewarding: classic flinty aromas appear gradually along with discreet white fruits aromas. The palate is vibrant and powerful with multiple layers and a strict structure. The 2019 also shows a bright acidity on the finish that enhances the saline mineral composition of the wine and makes it taste very dry. It will develop slowly and for the better.

The power and concentration are almost as complete as the ripeness, effortlessly handling the 13.5% alcohol. Super-long, creamy and spicy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Rich and round and pungent. Very satisfying even now. Peachy. Really rather gorgeous already.
