Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Thursday, May 22, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium+ intensity aromas of butter, vanilla, walnuts, quince, very ripe peaches and some notes of honey. The wine is dry with a medium+ refreshing acidity. It has medium+ alcohol, medium body and medium+ intensity flavours of quince, vanilla, ripe peaches, walnuts and butter. The finish is medium+.

It is an outstanding quality wine showing a very clear typicity, with a nice fruit concentration well balanced by the alcohol and fresh acidity. It's elegant and complex in the nose thanks to its maturity and well-integrated oak notes. Can drink now, but it has enough acidity and fruit concentration to develop some more complexity in the next 2-3 years.
