Tasting notes
Multidimensional aromas of lemon, lime, powdered stone and white flowers. Dense, silky and fat with fruit. There's incredible depth, volume and extract to the pineapple, stone and floral flavors but a complete absence of rough edges and no sense of excess weight. The compellingly sweet finishing flavors of lime and flowers are unflagging. A big boy but still an infant-and a great wine in the making.

Vibrant, compelling aromas of lemon, flowers, minerals and creme fraiche Then dense, sweet and penetrating, with multidimensional flavors of peach, orange, lemon, flowers, minerals and crushed stone. Finishes with great class and lift to its pineapple and lemon flavors.
