Plenty of time and future improvement left on this one.
Tropical fruits and, naturally, racy refreshing acidity. I think this vintage will show itself much better with a bit more age, because if I have a slight criticism it's that it's a little 'thin', perhaps (at the moment) lacking a little structure.

The previous taster is spot on. This was toasty, rich, exotic with pineapple and grapefruit on the nose. Austere on the palate for a sweet wine but deftly balanced with citrus and lemon confit and persistent on the tongue. The bright, razor-like acidity cuts through the unripe, yellow exotic fruit like a sabre... This has real potential and already provides great pleasure.

PnP. Metallic golden. Delicious fruity nose with pourriture noble behind, citrus, mango, grape... Intense sweet fruity palate with fine acidity, long finish. Drink now or wait many years.
