Journey's End

Pale yellow with green reflections

Clean, moderate plus intensity, quite Burgundian in profile, light toast character, ripe tangerine, lemon, frangipani flowers, stony minerals, subtle oaking lending  delicate vanilla pod, matchstick complexity


Dry with high acidity lending a precise freshness, citrus juice, crunchy and mineral, moderate plus alcohol of 13.5% abv, textured mid palate with a fine tension and electrifying purity, delicate, elegant, very well made, drinking well but still shows lots of underlying stamina in it's embryonic structure, best from 2015 until 2018
