A ripe, smoky cast envelops the core of lemon tart, peach and baking spice flavors in this exotic white. Loosely knit, with a lingering finish of lemon, spice and toasty oak. Offers fine flavors and a nutty aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2028. 850 cases made, 180 cases imported.

There is enough reduction present to warrant decanting this if you're going to try a bottle soon. Otherwise the classic minerality and refinement of a fine Virandot are present and there is plenty of verve and flavor impact on the linear and citrus-infused finish. Like the Caillerets if this adds more depth my score could be conservative.
