Written Notes

Medium colour. Attractive lemon curd, grapefruit, aromas with floral herb notes. Palate is chalky with concentrated lemon curd, grapefruit flavours, bitter, herb almost pine needle notes and cutting fresh acidity. Elemental and completely unintegrated but the essence of something is there. 91 points
  • 91p
Intense yellow colour with green hue. Opulent nose with aroma of honey and yellow stone fruit, grapefruit and hints of lemon-zest, discreet vanilla aroma in the background. On the palate rich and opulent with fine acidity and sweet fruit, ripe pear and hints of lemon-zest in the finish. Long aftertaste.
