Tasting Notes
Fine reduction, also smoky, dense savoury aromas; fine, with fresh notes of apple, Mirabelle plum, Reine Claude plum and lime zest. Unconventional on the palate, with a good drive and active acidity. Uncompromising, not ingratiating; a slightly greenish phenolic note meets texture. Mineral and idiosyncratic.
More about the tastingOverall, the nose is still closed, with delicate nutty and citrus tones. On the palate, the demanding, juicy acidity structure is impressive, a pinch of greenness spices up the full-bodied structure, which finishes savoury with a mineral tinge and still youthful and fresh carbonic acid.
