Pale gold medium body (13.5%) wine. Needed 40 minutes to open before green apple fruit with a hint of peach appeared. This is a bigger wine than the 2021 vintage and will be excellent in 2 years.

On the nose there was a reductive note of struck match and flinty minerals mixed with some interesting vanilla,nut, green apple and lemon zest fruit , felt fuller bodied on the mouth feel, with decent acidity and lots of fruit. Bit tight on the mid palate that should soften with a few more years. Would love to try some of these with a bit of bottle age

Has some of the reductive character. Nahh... actually more highly oaked than reductive. Pretty and beautiful fruit to it. Beautiful fruit character to it.

Peach and citrus. Lucious finish. Will even get better with cellaring.

Nor oaky or buttery. Lots of lemongrass and citrus. A nice balanced wine and very drinkable.
