A bit closed aromatically, but otherwise in a good spot. Lot of citrus, as well as nectarine and other pit fruit, all wrapped in a bit of crystallized honey. The finish is long and dominated by slightly bitter citrus pith. The integration is excellent; neither the acid nor the residual sugar stand out as distinct elements at this point. No rush, but I’d suggest checking in on remaining bottles soon.

Light golden colour. Evolving, rich and savory. Exotic fruits like pineapple and papaya. Full palate, medium full body, long. Residual sugar and acidity in perfect balance. On the beginning of mature period, which could be quite long.

Still full of vigor and energy. The acidity is ripe and very solid, fruit has mellowed into dry honey and sweet quince and orange juice. Very long, spicy.

Very fine showing. Entering into a more mature phase. Lime, meyer lemon and other citric notes. Good body, not especialy acidic; demi-demi-sec, just a tad of RS. Only the faintest of chenin wooliness on the palate. Highly enjoyable across a range of strong indian curry flavors. Excellent pairing.

Quince, biscuit, green apple. Opens with aeration. Good weight, spicy, good volume, penetrating acidity. Creamy texture. Very long. Youthful. (Do not serve too cold.)
