TASTING NOTES

Ripe nectarines and lemon curd intertwined. Very complex palate that rewards with time in the glass to fully express Itself. Stony and textural upfront balanced by white peach and a saline acidity. The wine has lovely length and weight across the palate. A touch of lemon pith, crushed oyster shell and a hint of toasty oak. Full bodied yet beautifully restrained.

Scores

91/100

Plenty of appeal with its stone fruit and pineapple flavours all dressed up with creamed honey and woodsy spices. Lot of zesty, citrusy acidity with lime oil and some savoury nuances of cedarwood and almost a popcorn character. Lots of flavour yet flinty and super-tight across the palate.
