  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    Pale chartreuse yellow with a silver sheen. Delicate nuances of yellow pome fruit, a hint of dark savoury notes, multi-faceted, a still youthful bouquet. Full-bodied, a hint of honeydew melon, a refined acidity, with a saline touch, persistent, fresh herbs on the finish, strong ageing potential. (Peter Moser - Falstaff, June 24, 2024)
