With sauteed local sea scallops, lemon/wine/dill sauce & pasta. Initially tight with lemon & oak, a bit of vanilla creaminess. Acidity is present but restrained. Expressive nose and palate, but rather one dimensional. With air time and warmth everything improves--nose develops more subtle tones, and palate really jumps a level--more complex citrus, hints of lime, light honey, bit of yellow stone fruit, floral, as vanilla/caramel edge blows off leaving a more subtle richness with fine long finish with mixed light fruit sweetness and acidity.

Straw yellow colour. Rich, ripe nose - apple, lemon zest and a touch of vanilla. Rounded and soft mouthfeel - a touch of oak and minerality along with ripe apple. Medium long finish. Drinking nicely.
