This wine’s ripe mirabelle plum and fragrant lemon notes stream from the glass. The palate has the same appetizing contrast between rounded ripeness and fragrant freshness. The lemon tone creates a zesty, lively and textured palate. Very fresh and delicious right now, it’s sure to develop. Drink 2018-2025.

The nose exudes fine herbal-spicy scents underscored by a honey note and and orange. The palate is elegant and juicy - very complex with fine spiciness, well- integrated and racy acidity, and a discreet touch of lemon. Just when you think it’s going to slip away, the spicy finish bowls you over. Very good length and an ideal partner for many dishes.
