Light citrus notes and steely minerality. Fresh on the palate, pronounced lemon and lime citrus notes cut by tropical fruit. Very nice persistence - that primary palate fruit just sits on your tongue for a long time after putting this down.
Had the 2019 recently which showed a bit tired. This certainly much fresher not quite 2 years in.

Forgot I had opened this up just a few weeks prior! A happy accident here tonight. Consistent notes. Light to medium garnet. Red fruited and floral with some stemmy earth and light sweet pipe tobacco. Almost medium in body, juicy mid-palate character, fruit takes on a slightly creamier texture into the finish, with notes of flowers, herbs and lavender. Very interesting.

Light straw. Nose shows off bright lemon, creamy grapefruit. Very crisp finish - leading up to it there is some spicy orange, some more grapefruit, not as ripe or intense as the nose indicated. Good intensity on finish at first but dissipates rather quickly. Has lost something since my last bottle 2-3 years ago, so I'd say drink up.
