Date Tasted: 11/2020

Although the score reflects its condition today, someone can clearly understand that 2 years earlier, one would have tasted an excellent terroir example. Nevertheless, it is still delicious, and with depth, just the aroma intensity is lower than what is expected to be. 

Appearance: The colour is a deep lemon.

Nose: Medium intensity but developing and still fresh. Aromas like jasmine, rose, melon, elderflower, bread dough, and flint are notable.

Drink: Drink it now is not suitable for ageing.

Food Pairing: Try it with tuna ceviche.
