Liked this more than expected - a new producer for me and surprisingly good quality. Deep and long for this level with sweet fruit balanced by sharp acidity and a long crunchy/sour apple finish. Just lacks complexity and much nose (just beeswax). Superb with spicy Thai food. Improves with 10-20mins in a glass. Drink to 2026. 91-92pts

Alc: 7%; Deep lemon-gold. Heady intense aroma of white flowers towards frangipane and sweet Lillies, river stones, lime and lemon blossom, and a honey twist. A rich entry, with lots of flesh, noted but integral RS (seems quite high) but beautifully balanced by a streamlined and delineated piercing acidity, crunchy texture and a floral lift that pervades the mid-palate. Despite this the wine has plenty of ripeness with waxy Meyer lemon, sweet limes, Lemsip and yellow apple. The back palate had a slightly lactic element set against the malic of the apples. Linear despite the richer layers, the wine has a fair length and shows fairly well. The back palate summons grapefruit, honey and this creamy lactic note that slightly coated the palate and I was in two minds as to whether I liked it.

Deliciously satisfying and extremely quaffable. Has been our go to for Indian, Moroccan, etc. meals. One of the best kabinnets I’ve had.

Golden color, wonderful intensity, honey, fresh acidity to carry the gentle sweetness. Delightful!

As others have said, a little unbalanced and undefined. Though it did sharpen up with time - I liked it most on the third and fourth nights.
