Slightly reductive upon opening. Smoky flint character dominates the aromatic profile that offers ripe peach and savoury dried herb flavours. The palate is deeply textured, with beeswax, pollen and richly ripe stone fruit, the acidity is not particularly lively, but the finish is long and concentrated around ripe fruits.
