Edition 2 of this wine that became quite the talking point on release last year. Pale green/lemon yellow in the glass. The nose is clean, bright with elegance and depth. Perfumed with satsuma, nashi pear, almond, peach, grapefruit and fennel. At the front of the palate is that delicious talcum mineral again, and the tart zip of acidity is clear, rapier sharp and driving. Good concentration, harmony and richness to the palate, with the fruit edging into tropical of melon and pineapple. A hint of oak toast; some oatmeal and brioche to the finish, which is lingering and shows a touch of drying pithiness. 94pts.
