I'm surprised at the youthful light yellow colour. From a cold cellar temperature, it takes some time to reveal its ripe, though not crisp, apple nose, with grilled cashew nuts following - which in turn morphs into something close to peanut and lemon pith. At three hours, what seems to be some very subtle oak shows up, though there is no mention of any ageing in oak. Very good concentration of ripe, pungent lemon and apple flavours have a bit of grip mid-palate. Fullish bodied. Though I can't taste barrique, the wine is round enough for me to think there has been some exposure to oak. A little rasp-like at the tail, which is what takes it down a half notch to very good plus. There should be another five years in this.

In top form, nice mineral quality, well rounded not too crisp. Actually paired well with my spaghetti with lobster sauce. Not sure if it can improve much more.

Pale straw gold. Scents of tangy pear and lemon, quartz and wet stones. Medium bodied, fine clarity and focus of flavors, finishing persistently and with class. Not powerful, but makes a balanced statement.

Still lots of life left in this - plenty racy but also soft and yielding. Delighted; wish this weren’t my last bottle.

Very nice, medium weight with good clarity and focus of flavors. Could easily be drunk now, but this was better on the 2nd day.
