  Opens still with plenty of fresh acid and a spritz on the tongue. Grass and lime on the nose and palate to start with, and then a second wave of flavour where it's starting to show honey notes. Beautifully balanced between primary fruit and tertiary development right now, for my taste anyway. Enjoyed it immensely but very sad that this was my last bottle.

  Still feels very good - but delicious all the same.

  Two years since last bottle, still unbelievably youthful. Tastes barely a year old!

  Agree with a lot of the previous commentary about this still showing very youthful. The colour in the bottle is golden but don’t be fooled. I’d prefer to come back in another 5-10 years.

  Really crisp with delicious flavors of lemon/lime fruits and chalky minerals. The finish shows excellent intensity and grip and the texture shows a hint of beeswax. Complex and succulent and quite youthful! 91+
