Tasting Notes; The fruit is full and well-defined; it blossoms slowly with hints of tangerine and grapefruit, almonds, yellow fleshed fruit, melon, sage, lavender, and broom flowers, in an exciting crescendo. On the palate composite and reserved by vocation and lineage, its guiding light is its harmony, which unfolds softly yet confidently, gradually revealing a slight yet unrelenting and soothing minerality
