Fragrant, open & slightly perfumed, the medium-high intensity nose offers lovely and complex lemon citrus, ripe apple, herbs, and stony-leesy mineral aromas with touches of white floral. It is impressively weighted on the well-structured, medium+ bodied, textured & dry palate w/ touches of vanilla oak & spice notes joining the lemon citrus, ripe apple, stony-leesy mineral flavours. Very nicely balanced throughout w/ crisp, refreshing acidity, while the length is excellent w/ persistent leesy-stony mineral notes lingering on the savoury, long & crisp finish. Tasted Sept. 2024.
