Scores + Notes
This has a very fine nose: good fruit concentration, clean, very pure, not confected in any way, with lively blackberries and violets to the fore. The palate is medium-bodied, well-balanced with fine acidity and tannins. Natural, good focus on the finish with judicious amount of oak. A very fine Citran in a difficult vintage. Tasted April 2008.
