Nose

An intense bouquet with notes of stem ginger, honeycomb, candied lemons,
mineral, and a touch of nutmeg.

Palate

The palate is generous on the entry with touches of ginger, white pepper, and bitter orange. It is exceptionally well-focused, persistent, and loaded with fruit, yet bright, zesty, and vivacious

Growing Conditions

An early bud break, one of the longest flowering periods in years, and a long
growing season produced a vintage that shines in quality. Spring started fast and
the early bloom was followed by cooler temperatures, wind and rains, which
slowed development and reduced yields. The result was a small crop of well concentrated fruit that ripened fully and slowly before an early harvest in August.
