Wine Description
Firm, nutty scent with slightly warm yellow fruity aromas, hints of smoke, nutty tones, pepper, root vegetables and minerality. Ripe, again quite firmly knitted fruit, clearly ethereal, partly herbal spiciness, salt, some pepper and floral notes, a hint of dark berries, lasting and powerful, sweet melting.
