(from .50 ha parcel; aged for 30 months in a foudre, or large wooden barrel). A ripe blend of white and yellow orchard fruit, especially peach, combines with notes of green fruit, acacia and spice, along with the barest hint of wood influence. The highly seductive yet markedly powerful large-bodied flavors flash evident muscle and minerality while delivering superb length on the very dry but not especially austere finale. This is though very compact and backward and a wine that should age successfully for years. Also strongly recommended provided you intend to age it appropriately.
