Lightly rosé in color. A cool nose with ripe stone fruit, pastries, fruit bread, and cinnamon. Clear and delicately juicy to juicy with a touch of melting, a firm body with strength and power, invigorating and fresh, plenty of spice, stone fruit, candied orange peel, candied lemon peel, yeast pastries, and hazelnut. Appears very dry, but has substance, that creaminess/sandiness caused by the limestone, a long finish with stimulating spices noticeable retronasally. (J.
