- Description
An alluring and for its genre unusually sweetly-perfumed nose of orange zest, winter pear, almond extract, and lily-of-the-valley leads to an - again, for the genre unusually - soft, caressing palate, but one underlain by telltale evidence of chalk and stone. A gorgeous mingling of these mineral notes with nut oils informs the wine's long finish.
