It was harvested early but with full ripeness and higher acidity and more freshness

This is still very tight and may require up to a decade to fully mature

Clearly a stupendous effort but just far too young at this stage

powerful entry

This is an excellent villages and one that should amply repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.
