Description
The initial taut character gives way to rich, forward fruit and botanical aromas with an attractive saline green herb quality. Aromas of apple, pear and nectarine blend with oyster shell and clove. Persistent citrus flavors on the palate are defined by waves of grapefruit pith and lime zest. The wine has beautiful flow and equilibrium – everything is in place and driving in one direction. The ripe, succulent fruit sits beautifully on the palate with a lilting quality and a long, mouthwatering finish of great persistence. Drink between 2021 and 2027.
