Aging: +5 / +20 years

The nose is redolent of ripe grapefruit, pear and white blossom. The palate is very refined and has an electrifying saline/mineral character that is beautifully taut and expertly balanced by the lovely weight of bright citrus and softly herbal fruit. Definitely a must.
Food pairing: Fresh salad with goats cheese, smoked salmon, or an asparagus risotto.
