April 2, 2023 - Bright lemon in the glass. Restrained but layered nose with grapefruit, peach, biscuits, ginger and shaved brazil nut. Bone dry will a full body balanced by lovely high acidity. Flavours of melon and pineapple emerge on the palate which culiminates in a long, savoury finish. Drink now or hold.
WSET notes:
Medium lemon.
Medium plus intensity on the nose with ripe grapefruit, peach, chamomile, melon, pineapple, cedar, biscuit, ginger, brazil nut, hay and honey. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on palate. Full body, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging.
