  What a hauntingly beautiful wine from Chisa. Open and inviting from the beginning. Broad texture without sacrificing acidity. Chiseled with precision. Bosc pears, green apples and citrus pith. Honey blossoms, and accasia. Long, deeply mineral finish. The colour certainly doesn't suggest any oxidation at this moment, but I do get some honeyed almond/marzipan notes on the nose and palate, especially as the wine warmed. Currently, it lends the wine some lovely additional complexity, though it does give me some concern about the long term integrity of the wine. I'm excited to see how my remaining bottles evolve, hopefully for the positive. Finger crossed.
