Wonderfully (and seductively) aromatic, with a floral perfume that fairly leaps out of glass, compelling you to take a sip, this has to be one of the best smelling wines I’ve encountered in a long time. It’s quite tasty too, but quite soft and supple, so lacks grip on the palate. It thus is very much a wine to drink in the relatively short term. But that bouquet! Wow!
