Upon opening shows quite modern notes of cool reduction, toasted sesame like. With time opens up and shows much more classical - Apples, pear tarts, a bit of salt toffee.
Nicely focused on the palate, broad & rich in flavor yet balanced with energetic acidity and, in the end, quite taut & tight. Balances well the exotic breadth with the energetic tension & ascetic frame.
This drinks very nicely already now, but needs a bit of aeration, or time.
A really nice alternative to Burgundy
