Tasting Notes
2020
Brilliant pale gold colour. A distinguished nose combining white fruit, lime blossom and mineral notes, with vanilla oak in the background. Beautifully taut, concentrated and sapid on the palate, still rather timid in its expression. Delicious roundness, fullness, precision, a convincing modern style. (Tasted in 2022)
