A subtle touch of wood frames the pretty, cool and nicely layered array offers up notes of green apple, white flower, spice and mineral reduction. There is focused power and fine detail to the medium-bodied and tautly muscular flavors where the lemon-tinged acidity adds lift to the impeccably well-balanced and youthfully austere finale.
