Straw yellow colour. Very fine bead. Appealing aromas of honey, slate, orange zest, a touch of smoky oak and a light nutty character. The palate is focused, elegant and delicate, yet the flavours are expansive towards the long finish. Super now, but needs another 5 years to develop towards its peak.
The nose shows a touch of kerosene in the foreground, with slate, honey and botrytis also present. The palate has lovely balance with medium sweetness and cleansing, fresh acid. Medium length. A little bit simple perhaps, but so charming and drinkable. Drink over the next 5 years.
