2008 Tissot (Bénédicte et Stéphane / André et Mireille) Arbois Clos de la Tour de Curon

Flaxen, with some green notes. A bit shy on the nose, but very elegant aroma of nuts, herbs, aceton and some sweetness (coconut). Medium body with velvet texture. High acidity (sitrus) and a spicy and very long finish. Layers of taste!
Very impressive and elegant, yet expensive ($100 in Norway).
