Light gold color. The nose is intense and flavorful, boasting powerful fruity aromas despite some residual lees reduction character (some people call it complex reduction!). Both nose and palate are classic limestone expression (wet stones, herbs, ripe citrus…). The palate is long, big with a firm acidity and finishes with a definite volume. The wine tastes dry, with only a small hint of roundness. It will age superbly and should open much more.
