Very closed, so little aroma. But the palate has bracing apple and pineapple fruit, a lot of oak and considerable tension. Very rich but spicy and vivid too, with good if not exceptional acidity. Youthful and pungent with a very long, oaky finish.

The light straw color and spiciness of youth bode well for this six-year-old wine. Minerals and pepper-like spice predominate while pineapple-like fruitiness lies in the background at this stage. The following night, more fruit elements emerge, while the riveting acidity keeps it fresh and full of energy. Its invigorating and lengthy finish amplifies all its elements. The wine’s stature comes as no surprise given the success of the vintage for whites.
