Chrysanthemum, yellow flowers and white fruit on the nose. Big wine, rich citrusy, peach and pineapple flavours. High acidity, green apples, lemons and cream.

Dinner with Fabrice Amiot (Canton Tastes, Albert Street): Good, but far too young. The nose was quite nice, showing notes of green apples and ripe lemons, a layer of oak, creme fraiche and smoky toast along with just a hint of mushroomy earth. Some complexity there for something so young. The palate was far tighter though - lots of acidity here, so that it was almost tart when drank by itself. So bright and zippy in fact that it almost masked the fact that there was a bit of alcohol and quite a bit of weight on this. It was not bad though, with lots of bright lemon and green apples flavours laced with a lovely amount of minerality tailing away at a long, creamy finish. All in all, good but a bit awkward in its extreme youth. However, there is an intriguing depth to this along with a nicely cut and defined balance that suggests that this may improve significantly in the next decade or so.

Super high aciditY of green apples, lime and lemons. Sharp on the palate now and hopefully it will roud off in time.
