A youthful, bright, pale lemon-green in the glass. The bouquet reveals quince, grapefruit, white pepper, cashew nut, white peach, wheat biscuit and geranium. The palate has a core of minerality and a prickle of crisp, saline acidity – surrounded by ripe citrus, white cherry and some toasty barrel elements. A well-made, elegant expression, with no coarse edges, just a seamless body with enough weight yet simplicity to be interesting and likeable. A soft, mealy texture with a touch of creaminess and spice. The finish is rounded and long. 93pts
