From memory. Cloudy iced-tea orange. Nose of dry flowers, pommes fruits, and gravel. The palate is surprisingly light-handed, white fruits, tannins, and minerals make it very refreshing considering relatively low acid. The finish is medium-long. This wine was best just lightly chilled, enjoyed with steelhead trout and then roast chicken. A versatile wine which would be a great routine drink if not for the price.

Opened right out of cellar. Took about 30 minutes to come around. Drank nicely, but I think it is time to drink this up. Second bottle a few nights later was superb, with no signs of decline. Chalk up first bottle to bottle variation.

PNP into Zalto Damijan glass (“Root” day): Medium bright copper to the eyes.
Savoury, juicy and mature but high toned stone fruits like apricots. Honeyed/slightly preserved apricots.
Great palate concentration and good intensity of flavours. Good length.
93 points to me.
