Bright but light gold colour. A mature, attractive bouquet of bruised yellow apples, lychees, pears and lemon curd, with notes of rocky minerals in the background. In the mouth, silky but viscous. Good fruit volume and concentration. Green and yellow apples, Turkish delight, lemon toffee and minerals. Quite young and primary on palate. Refreshing, fresh acidity balances well some touches of honeyed sweetness. This bottle was drinking very nicely, showing a good balance between primary fruit and secondary, developed characteristics. Drink or hold.

Sun yellow in the glass, with long medium pace legs. Big musk stick and wet rocks on the nose. This wine is still young and tight after a while in the decanter it started to open but has a lot of life left in it, either way we drank it before it showed its true self. Medium+ body and medium acid. On the palate it showed honeysuckle and lemon rind, finished with some residual sugar. Can't wait to see this in 5 years time and a open for a day!

Complex, buttery and citrus notes. Sweet at times and astringent aftertaste.
