Note di degustazione
Fruit from Aloxe. Focused lemon and beeswax on the nose. Super-textural on the palate with huge, mouth-filling weight and chalky texture on the finish. Flavours of salted caramel, baked lemon, custard and beeswax. Long and luxurious. Dec 2015, FINE+RARE

Mineral reduction and lime hints add breadth to the lilac, green apple and tangerine skin-suffused aromas. There is seriously impressive size and weight to the dramatically powerful, rich and concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess obvious muscle and simply fantastic length on the overtly austere, deep and palate staining finish. This is a chiseled and sleekly powerful effort that should also be capable of aging effortlessly for years.
Ineffable high-pitched aromas of lemon zest and silex convey a powerful impression of terroir . Wonderfully juicy and penetrating, conveying great mineral definition and site character but youthfully austere today owing to its bracing acidity. Most impressive today on the racy, extract-rich finish, where lemon, lime and crushed stone flavors build inexorably and leave the taste buds quivering. I may be underestimating this wine's potential longevity.
