Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Subtle scents of white peach and underripe pineapple are enlivened by stony minerality, peppermint and high-pitched brown spices. Juicy, dense and penetrating in the mouth, with brisk acidity framing the white peach and stone flavors. Lovely subtle sweetness here. The very long, slowly building back end is rich and smooth, communicating lovely aromatic lift and a light touch. A very vibrant 2014.

Rich and very crisp at the same time, almost sweet/sour. Concentrated and very primary at the moment. Deep, firm and almost chewy. Lots of fine raw material here, just needs time. (JH)
