Had this with spicy Chinese takeout and it stood up well. Lovely spices and lychee. Light in style. Not oily or unctuous. Nonetheless it was a good accompaniment to the food.

Deep golden color. The nose is tight, a little lychee fruit, cashew nut oil, and after a bit some grey slate minerals. Sweet and somewhat oily palate, better with a slight chill. I think this is in an awkward place now, beyond primary fruit and not quite mature. The 14% abv shows towards the finish. Big and complex, but for me not easy to drink.
