Tasting Notes
When to drink
Drink now or hold for up to 5 more years
On the nose
A highly restrained nose features notes of cool and ultra-pure citrus, green apple, white flowers, herbal tea and wet stone.
On the palate
There is a distinctly racy mouth feel to the super intense and well-delineated medium weight plus flavors that are strikingly focused on the chiseled, clean, dry and moderately austere finale that delivers stunningly good complexity.
Product Notes
Fermentation begins in stainless steel and finishes in casks to which it is transferred 5-6 days later. They are matured in oak barrels (33% new) for 12 months and the separate cuvées are then assembled in stainless steel before being returned to cask for another 6 months prior to being bottled.
