Another recent stab at this wine and another success, I’m loving the grilled lemon and poached pear flavors’ abilities to commingle with the limestone and ginger elements in such a way that freshness…
As before, golden pear, grilled lemon, olive oil, cardamom, and wood offer a pleasantly oxidative profile that is lifted by notes of limestone and ginger. Decent breadth and volume; medium intensity.…
This is quite a nice specimen, with hallmark Pertois-Lebrun notes of grilled lemon, olive oil, limestone, and red and yellow apple flesh. Slightly oxidative elements add depth and complexity, with…
