It reveals notes of ripe lemon, ripe grapefruit and juicy grapefruit peach combined with fine touches of exotic fruit, racy minerality as well as slight hints of citrus flowers. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a good definition, tension, fat, gourmandize, a juicy / acidulous frame, freshness, a racy minerality, a good structure, juiciness as well as a very slight unctuosity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, ripe pink grapefruit and small notes of crushed vine peach associated with a fine touch of lychee as well as discreet hints of exotic fruit. Good length. There is a discreet almost saline hint on the finish / persistence.
