Fruity and fresh on the palate, with citrus, white peach, and some tropical notes. The acidity isn’t what I would call piercing, but it’s certainly present. The wine has good body and mouthfeel; indeed, an almost creamy texture begins to emerge somewhere mid palate. Near the end, it starts to fall apart a bit: that astringency I got on the nose starts to creep back in, and becomes rather bitter on the late finish. It’s certainly not bad enough that I can’t drink it, but enough for me to notice.

Pale gold. Passionfruit and lemon, reasonably held back but not subtle either. Blazing acidity needs time to settle down, rather one dimensional at the moment.

By the glass at the BA lounge, LHR. Freshly opened bottle. Frankly neutral and lacking presence at this stage , very shy and almost smelling of nothing. Ok on the palate but lacks a memorable side. Nothing bad here but nothing that makes it shine, 87-88
