The runway is short and surrounded by mountainous pine forests and stone. The throttle is pushed all the way in, and the flaps are up as the aircraft reaches rotation speed. The piston is bursting with purple flowers and blue fruit. This machine is a textbook combination of finesse and power. The fine-grained oak tannins widen the already massive mid-palate. Bright acidity lifts everything upwards for a smooth takeoff.
