A little time has improved this. Still a smoky, gunlfinty nose amongst the usual citrus and tropical typicality. The palate is lively, but more confident with punches of grapefruit and kumquat. While Gewurtz is my go-to for Thai food, this notched it up a level,

Really needs air. Starts off with a struck matchstick note and smoky tropical fruit. Gradually blossoms with lively passionfruit and lychee, but light on the floral phenolics which makes this rather fresh while retaining depth. Residual sugar is rather limited, but not enough acidic structure to hold the finish together. One for cheese.
