Really pleasant and balanced (not as lean / austere as I’d feared). Delicate sweetness with good underlying acidity. Floral and palate is lime zest into stone fruit / tropical fruit.

Powerful wine! Lots of concentration from 100yo vines. Quite different – more savour and more honey. Aromatic, slightly lactic nose, with some green vegetation and a tropical undertone. Quite full in the mouth, tropical at first, then moving into lime and clementine and a creamy midpalate. Marmitey finish. Needs time for the sweetness and acidity to marry up fully.
