Light but quite bold gold colour with decent brightness. Relatively restrained on the nose, with an amalgam of peach, grass, honey & apricot, but all VERY delicate and low-toned - with perhaps a hint of mustiness (but not I'm sure corked).
On the palate there's more richness than impied on the nose, but the honeyed sweetness is kept nicely in check and indeed the wine finishes almost dry. For me this adds interest and in an odd way, complexity as the wine teeters from sweet to dry. There's also a hint of eucalyptus which again works well for me.
