The nose unfolds with aromas of ripe Braeburn apples, dried honey, and Marcona almonds moving in and out of the foreground, adding fleeting suggestions of salted Seckel pears, linden, parsley, and lime blossoms as the nose develops over time. On entry, the wine is impressively concentrated, then becomes languid, as the ripe honeyed flavors grow more voluminous with time, adding roasted hazelnuts and applewood smoke, but always remains firm, fresh and vibrant, like a perfect skipping stone.
