Tasted blind at wine tasting. Rich and assertive. Big fruit, seems to combine tropical fruit and citrus in an interesting, exotic package. Good acidity and minerality provide length and punch at the finish. Perhaps not my favorite vintage of this wine, but really well made.
Tasted blind. Nutty, marzipan with some sweet hints. Excellent minerality and texture. Great length, but sweeter than I'd thought in context of this tasting.
