Tasting Note

A vibrant and expressive wine, showing clean aromas of yellow stone fruits like ripe peach and nectarine. The palate offers a fleshy, sun-kissed fruit profile, layered over a subtle, phenolic grip reminiscent of Block 2, but with more generosity and warmth. There's impressive breadth and power here, with the juicy stone fruit character lifted by underlying notes of flint and citrus pith, adding energy, structure, and a refined mineral edge to the finish.
