A pale-mid lemon gold appearance, with a tinge of green. Ripe, creamy, buttery nose with a chalky lemon zest minerality. Very open and full on the palate. It’s very big and ripe, and suffering from the “2003 disease” (i.e. of a very hot summer). Quite buttery with some concentrated orange flesh flavours, melon fruit and a hint of grapiness. It just feels overblown and overdone. Good. 83/100 Actually, it improves with food quite a bit, and probably could be as high as 85/100
