The nose has that intense struck match, gunpowder flavoured yoghurt smeared over spiced, grilled pineapples character that you so often get in good white burgundy. The palate is very full, but beautifully structured with acid cutting through from the start and reappearing to tidily wrap up the finish. The flavours are almost inconsequential so much time is spent enjoying the structure but there is juicy citrus squeezed stone fruits in there. The finish is long and fine with only a slight reduction in the intensity stopping this from being a truly great wine.
If this is an average day for Mr K then the asking price of Giaconda is looking to be very good value indeed. Sorry kids.
