Tasting Notes:
Lovely rich nose with great spiciness to the ripe red and russet apple fruit. A lovely freshness here coupled with complexity - hints of white flowers. As it warms further, one finds dried flowers and powdered minerals. Really fresh and intense palate of great minerality and rapier, lemon freshness. Freshly sliced green apple that's been salted! Very fine pillowy mousse. Long, intense and lovely. Delicious!
#3wordtastingnote: fresh, intense, green apple
