Pale yellow-gold. Reticent but pure nose hints at very ripe white peach, nutmeg, honey and caraway seed. Concentrated and powerful, with an enticing sugar/acid balance. This is less obviously minerally and harmonious now than the '01 I tasted just before it, but it boasts an impressively chewy, tactile texture and superb honeyed length. Still an infant and hard to judge.
