Tasting notes

"...mixes tropical citrus with sesame seeds and nuances of crushed stone. Vibrant and round in feel, it has juicy acidity and crisp mineral tones that elevate its core of ripe orchard fruits. It tapers off with excellent length, leaving the senses completely refreshed." ~ 90pts, Vinous Media; JS93 / WA90
