Tasting notes
FINE+RARE, Oct 2020

A mix of both primary, lifted, white flower notes and richer, tertiary, savoury tones of hazelnut and toasted oatmeal fill the nose. The palate is wonderfully creamy with a lovely balance of melon, russet apple fruit and smoky toasted hazelnuts. The textural oiliness combines with the refreshing acidity to form a balanced, integrated whole, while the weighty mid-palate adds impressive depth. Drinking beautifully but will hold.

A pungent nose is composed of notes of petrol, lemon rind and white orchard fruit. There is a refined, even seductive mouth feel to the palate coating medium-bodied flavors that possess fine depth and particularly good persistence on the balanced and lightly citrus-inflected finish.
