Description
(fermented and aged for eight months in barriques, one-third of them new), Green-tinged yellow. A heady, complex bouquet evokes fresh citrus and orchard fruits, iodine, vanilla and pungent flowers sharpened by a smoky mineral element. Sappy, palate-staining tangerine and poached pear flavors show a suave marriage of richness and vivacity, while a bright spine of acidity adds verve. Honeysuckle and pear nectar qualities linger on an impressively long and focused finish that shows no rough edges. — Josh Raynolds
