Extremely fresh and vegetal. Loaded with bell pepper, snap pea, big big vegetable notes. Romaine lettuce, faint pepper and minerality, crisp rainwater and fresh cut leek. Wild and complex.
Bright on the palate - quite complex. First taste brings bell pepper, string bean, jalapeno. The longer it rests, the sweeter and more mineral forward it becomes, ending with leek, ash and a touch of crispness.
Short finish, but it's delightful and clean.
This is an excellent look at a Tep that goes all out in "green" field notes on the palate but brings balance and complexity to the finish, without going too overboard. A masterpiece from Marta and Isaac.
