there is a touch of smoke and stone that lends a darker aspect to the ripe but crisp apple fruit. the palate has that same taut but very full-fruited feel—of very tightly held ample fruit reminiscent of red-cheeked, aromatic apples. this is both powerful and svelte. the palate is dry and finishes very clean, leaving you with haunting apple notes and fresh lemon.
