Note di degustazione
Moderately saturated ruby-red. Currant, plum, mocha and smoke on the slightly roasted nose. Then juicy and firm but pliant, with good intensity and energy to the flavors of currant, licorice, road tar, chocolate and woodsmoke. This moderately ripe, already-approachable wine finishes with fairly fine tannins that show a slight dryness with aeration.

Juicy, plum, red and black currant, cedar, and damp earth aromas jump from the glass of this spicy, ripe, medium-bodied effort. A classic Graves with a silky texture and a round, plump, heady finish, it can be drunk over the next 7-8 years.
Quite herbal but not green. Dark fruit in the middle though finishes light and dry. (JH)
Very modest nose. But very rich and opulent on the palate. Then sufficient floral flavours and acidity. Quite rich texture. Lemon oil. Good but not great. Not quite as much concentration as some other whites. Serious, ambitious wine – quite exotic. Made me think of Alexandria in Ramadan for some reason. Long. A wine to reflect on, perhaps. A bit stinkier than most other top whites.
