NEW Limited Release

A bit more herbal. Manuka honey, wild aromatic fennel pollen, layered floral bouquet. Slight medicinal aspect. Dates. Elegant, more delicate, precise and crystalline. Late, long and structured with a linear form and backwards tannins. Taut acidity, very long finish with black fruit emerging alongside a peppery floral note. 96 Points Stephen Wong MW
