It is gloriously expressed on the nose showing baked apple, golden peach, brioche, lemon peel and rich yeasty characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and concentration, wonderfully complemented by creamy mouthfeel and bright acidity. Opulent, multi-layered and sophisticated.

Instantly recognisable bouquet of fresh white fleshed fruits with apple and pear then layers of autolysis suggesting freshly baked goods, butter brioche and a whisper of spice. Fresh and enticing mousse with a coarse silk texture and high acidity carrying flavours of apple and citrus, white strawberry and some peach. Taut and youthful, salivating and a saline, balanced, new and well made. Best drinking from day of purchase and through 2027.
