Guru Branco 2017

€ 36.54

Guru is a very special wine. It glitters in the glass and attracts from the outset with orchard, stone fruit and delicate pastry notes on the nose, just touched by vanilla. The palate is luxuriant, sumptuous and yet there is a vibrant energy and mineral intensity which adds focus and drive. The vines here are treated with the precision and care ordinarily confined to the very finest crus in Burgundy – lovely wine – deeply impressive.

Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Frische Orangenzesten, dezente Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Schiefer. Mittlerer Körper, etwas weitmaschig, zart nach Honigmelone, ausgewogen, mineralisch, bereits gut antrinkbar, ein stoffiger Speisenbegleiter mit zart süßem Finale.
