"The deep and complex nose offers up a tertiary mix of fresh apricot, saffron, honeycomb, pain grillé, a complex base of soil tones, macadamia nut and a touch of orange blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and ripe in personality, with but a lovely core of fruit, still good acids and underlying minerality, fine mousse and lovely complexity and grip on the long and very well-balanced finish."
