Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 17
Very pale, bright yellow. Minerally but quite subdued on the nose. On the palate, lemon zest and savory minerality are supported by brisk citrussy acidity. Penetrating, classically dry wine with a touch of austerity but the underlying richness to its white peach and citrus fruit flavors is already apparent. Still quite tight and in need of cellaring. Very long on the aftertaste.
