August 4, 2019 - Tasted blind, this wine had a light yellow center and clear rims. It looked shockingly young. The medium- intensity nose showed lemon/lime, brioche, marzipan and apples.
In the mouth, this wine was medium bodied with firm acidity and excellent length. It was refined and beautifully balanced rather than dramatic.
I would argue for a minimum of 5 hours in a decanter before you drink this one to bring out its flavors. Who knows how long this will age? It will easily last 10-15 years from here (assuming good storage). However, I doubt there is a lot of upside.1,222 views
