straw gold, moderate legs. light, lively candied pineapple and red apple nose. light honey, apple, nectarine, and caramel lead to a long finish, with the slightest petrol. not a hint of oxidation or cloying character.

A wine library selection. Semi amber color, showing age and perhaps some oxidization. Nose is not massive, but gives way to some rich fruits and mineral notes. Upon drinking this wines comes alive, oily texture reminiscent of a nice Gravonia from Spain, with buttery elements of honey, vanilla and marmalade, a hint of mineral left over. Finish is long and silky, with some acid left on the mid palate, evolving to a nutty almond dissipation. Very long finish wine with great complexity.
