  Subtle, elegant, great texture and slightly creamy mouthfeel. Mineral driven, orchard fruit and some salinity. Great food wine, but also nice to sip by itself. Very enjoyable.
  
  Medium gold colour.
  
  Pronounced aromas of lemon tart, lemon confit, apple, pear, citrus pith, sea foam, wet stone, crushed oyster shell, white flowers.
  
  Pronounced palate.
  
  Medium (+) body, high acidity, long finish.

  Albeit not fans of oak and Assyrtiko ( much like their 2017 , Papies 91, and unlike their first efforts like the 2015, Papies 87) here this great east state walks the fine line very elegantly and makes it work. Oak here to polish a bit but does not mute the wine note does it impact heavy oaky notes even this young. Still very bright , soft limes , light saline feel. Less flinty than their un oaked bottlings but still a very solid 91
