Asian pear, quince, Meyer lemon, matcha tea, and honey notes party on, with electric acidity throughout. There's a latent powerfulness here that likely needs a few more years to fully emerge.

sb Bright gold Light aromas Sweet silky lime feel at first, I thought this might be a flabby Riesling, but with time more juicy lemon and pineapple. Not seeming totally classic to me, but really lovely drinking

N...rich and seductive; honey/lemon, dried apricot, plenty of intense bees wax, orange peel.
C....golden, looks medium-H body
T....medium rather than properly dry, nice cleansing acidity balances superb fruit, very classy, rich. Apricot, gentle ripe apple, lovely yellow fruit, and peaches/nectarine; honey comb and bees wax, silky mouth-feel; I was worried I had opened it too soon but it didn't feel that way - though it is obvious it has yrs left in it. Has a good mineral profile, a bit of wet river stone. Long flavours, a touch of marzipan and almond.
VFM?.....cost feels about right.
