Tasting Notes
2015 is the best vintage yet released from this exceptional site, offering crystalline purity with lush dark cherry and raspberry compote, roses, violets and wild thyme. Always with lively freshness and firm structure, all wrapped up in a silky and glossy, chalk-powdery, textural coating. A real class act from this cool climate, high-altitude Gualtallary vineyard. The sky is the limit.
