"From 15+ year old vines. A softly airy and wonderfully pure nose that is most composed of fresh citrus blossom notes plus a hint of anise leads to round yet detailed and nicely minerally middle weight flavors that deliver fine intensity and precision on the racy and harmonious finish. I quite like this as it's a wine of finesse and the style is one of understatement. Recommended."
