This wine has a great sense of balance. Notes of waxed melon rind, crisp pear slices, lightly toasted apple and pressed yellow flowers. The medium-weight palate feels round and filling on entry, but is then picked up after the sip thanks to focused acidity and a light saltiness that lends length to the finish. Extremely age worthy.
