This was really lovely, with a complex floral nose of citrus and apple. On the palate, peaches, melon, apple and pear on the mid-palate, finishing with good cut and medium persistence. Several years in the cellar has really improved this wine, toning-down some of the body in the fruit. Sadly, this is my last bottle; I will hold most of the 2012s I have for at least another year until drinking.

The wine was light yellow-green in colour and offered lime, apricot, tangerine and apple aromas on the nose. On the palate the wine was fresh and slightly spritzy, with lemon, red apple, honeydew melon, minerals and a slightly spicy touch, paired with medium-plus acidity, a rather rich mouthfeel in the context of the grape variety and very good length. A very serious, medium- to full-bodied Arneis. 88+

Spicy and nicely acididc with a minerally and nicely viscous presence in the glass; smooth yet challenging; great finish.

Pleasant, fruity, nutty nose. Smoothly, sweetly pleasurable palate with enough acidity to balance. Arneis is good stuff.

Good depth with minerality and sweet edge.
