Just filtered. Pale in colour and the nose has been slightly stripped. Entirely white fruit, with concentration, perhaps a hint of lemon, the stones and the flesh, but a bit muted. The persistence is there, so this may just be unwilling to declare itself today. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted: July 2023.

Discreet notes of white pepper and spice combine with mostly white fleshed fruit, citrus and a whiff of shellfish. There is both good volume and energy to the delicious middleweight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality that adds a sense of lift on the dry and lingering finish that doesn’t offer the same complexity as the best here.” 89-91 points, Burghound, Aug 2023
