Pale gold-tinged yellow. Initially reduced nose opens with aeration to offer aromas of peach, quinine, ginger and grilled meat. Rich and highly concentrated but wonderfully dry and fresh too, showing youthfully tight flavors of lime zest, peach and crushed stone. The long finish features terrific grip, noteworthy finesse and saliva-inducing acidity. Grapes in the Rotenberg ripen slowly so they benefit from longer hang time, and the calcaire soil allows for a leaner, more aromatic, higher-acid profile.
