Tasted after 2 hours decanting in a narrow carafe.
Outstanding, rich, full-bodied aromatic white. Plenty of minerality and ripe exotic fruits, complex and long.
Appearance: clear, light golden color with a greenish hue. Nose: very fragrant, powerful and complex. Blend of mineral components (flint, petrol-like), intense flavors of ripe juicy fruits (grapefruit, mango, pineapple), white flowers, bee wax and acacia honey. Palate: Not fully dry (would guess about 6g/L of sugar), high levels of mouth watering acidity perfectly balancing the sweetness, 13% abv, full bodied, intense aromatics. Mineral, fruity, mineral, fruity, mineral and fruity again ! More seriously, aromas of crushed stones, flinty, passion fruit, ripe yellow peach, rose petals, honey, bee wax... extremely complex
Excellent now but predicting a long ageing potential of at least 20 years. Would probably gain some complexity as tertiary notes start to kick in.
95-96 now and could probably score higher with long bottle age.

Ausgezeichneter, gut gereifter Wein. Mischung aus Petrol, mürbem Pfirsich und reifer Mango, gutes Säuregerüst. Langer, komplexer Abgang.
