Tasting Notes
Dense and very mineral nose with notes of matchstick, flint, fine smoke, embers, subtle fruit (apricot), you think you can smell limestone. Well balanced on the palate, finely integrated, emphasising the mineral tension. Very long, noble and highly predisposed. Salty finish, deserves its name, vibrates with minerality.
