Almost intrusively aromatic. There is a delightfully attractive, sweaty phenol note on the nose. The same nose is also strikingly youthful and grapey. In fact, the wine is so primal it smells like fermenting must. The acidity supports the medium body very well, as does the surprisingly strong presence of CO2 on the palate. The finish is fairly long.
