Brilliant, light copper color. Lively ripe peach, cherry, raspberry, and nectarine fruit with a sweet custard backing. Hints of orange peel and herbs mingle with the bright, fresh fruit. Energetic and fresh. Texturally rich and savory with light miso notes and saline acid that is resolved and well-integrated. Pure, dynamic, and finessed with a dry but quenching finish that is exceptionally flavorful and persistent. This wine is already showing the lightly autolytic character you would expect from a reserve wine that has aged much longer. This is the result of fermenting and aging the base wine on the lees for ten months in neutral oak barrels before tirage bottling, effectively fast-forwarding the aging process.
