Light gold color. Aromas of lemon oil, dried white florals and lavender, sandstone earth, hints of dried herb and ginger - complex with lots of subtlety. Lithe and silky density on the palate, with precise citrus and quince flavors, with secondary chalk and saline minerality, and a subtle savory spice layer - pink peppercorn, anise and ginger. Bright and vibrant, almost weightless on the finish, closing with very nice length.
Light gold color. Complex and beguiling aromas of green pear and lime zest, melted stone, fresh white and rose florals, gingerbread and nutmeg spices, along with hints of earth-forest. Firm on the attack, moving to roundness and elegance as it goes. Expressive and seamless in its flavors, zesty fruit with layers of savory mineral and subtle spice depth. Refined and lithe, yet very dense and serious, with bright and vibrant high tones. Loads of complexity on the finish.
Salmon color. Rich aromatics of caramel apple, autumn foliage, marzipan, clove & cinnamon, dried hibiscus, dried cherry fruit. Succulent, bright, dried cherry and anise flavors on the palate, with polished stone, salted almond and spice layer secondary notes. Medium-body, high toned acid to enliven the wine’s oxygen with great complexity. Polished density, very round, with lots of mineral and spice on the finish.
Clear, medium-ruby color, lightening at the edges. Fresh and deeply complex aromas - nutmeg, fresh plum, black cherry, star anise, wet stone, rose hip, leather, potpourri, etc. Intense expression on the palate, firm but very supple and round in its density. Seamless fruit and serious secondary totally integrated, similar profile found on the bouquet. Medium-body, lively tension, plush fine tannins, big finishing depth highlighting the wine’s minerality.
