Expressive, sharply delineated aromas of fresh nectarine, pear, orange and pungent flowers, along with a smoky mineral overtone…Citrus and orchard fruit and fig flavors stain the palate and become deeper with air, picking up a touch of spiciness and showing powerful back-end cut. The mineral quality repeats emphatically on a strikingly long, sharply incisive finish that leaves juicy pear and floral notes behind. – J.R.
