"Captivating aromas of lemon, gunflint, menthol, ginger and coriander. Tactile, dense and penetrating, with powerful acidity contributing to the dry impression shown by the wine's crystallized lemon peel and crushed stone flavors. The strong lemony quality carries through onto the aromatic, palate-staining finish."
