Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
Musky lime and quinine aromas show an element of noble reduction. Dense, broad and sweet but conveys a weightless impression to its citrus and spice flavors. The long, tactile, glistening finish features saline minerality and leaves the salivary glands quivering. Dancer will rack his 2014s into cuves in August and leave them there for six months prior to bottling them.
