Pale/medium lemon. Nose is slightly dumb, possibly a touch too cold, shows some peachy fruit and vanilla. Full bodied on the palate, stone fruit, vanilla, low acidity, moderate length, flabby finish. Fairly ordinary (although apparently showed some improvement with time in glass). *

Noticeably deeper colour. Nose is considerably more complex and nuanced, with orange blossom and mineral. Medium/full bodied on the palate, relatively elegant with orangey fruit, slight nutty note, reasonable acidity and a good length finish. Very good ***.
