  In KL. Aired in bottle for an hour and drank over the next 2 hours.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of yellow peach, golden apple, yellow pear, one line of stony minerality, almond nuts with a few hours of air. Youthful.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of citrus lemon drops, yellow peach, golden apple, yellow pear, wet stones minerality, just a light kiss of buttered toast as an afterthought. Almond nut with a few hours of air. Limey medium+ finish.
  Very good quality. Lots of control and precision here. Oak very well managed. Will be interesting to give this a bit more age for the fruit to become honeyed and mellow and this should be just nice.
  Single vineyard on the coast in the Casablanca Valley. 40% spends 12 months in French oak barrels.

  Good transparent yellow. Medium bodied, good acidity, nose of quince, apple, lemon, vanilla. Clean, fresh, balanced with smooth and sweet oaky vanilla. Well calibrated.
