The highly aromatic nose is lightly musky with wonderful, primary fruit aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and lemon/lime citrus. On the medium+ bodied palate it is clean and elegant with refined acidity. It is impressively structured with an off-dry (i.e. lightly sweet) flavour profile of ripe peach, apricot, and lemon/lime citrus joined by spice and touches of petrol. The petrol notes linger through to dry finish, with excellent length. Tasted Apr. 2023. Score: 92+ pts
