this wine clearly needs to breathe. it is only after a few minutes of airtime that it shows its true colors: then very tart and aromatic apples appear, alongside a hint of smoke and a sheer touch of lemon freshness. the palate continues on that lemony streak and is absolutely dry. the body is lithe and slender and shows great freshness and intensity. apple and stone flavors linger. drink 2020–2030.
