N: Earth, poss minerals atop grass with pears coming on; Fairly fragrant

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt nicely counterbalanced by an acidity which subtly controls the action into & through the LONG, BALANCED finish with an attractive tangy/swtness. IMPRESSIVELY done for the price! For now & through '21, poss '22? 13% ABV; My EXC-/EXC, the higher arguably for the QPR of this.
