Still youthful and lemon-green in appearance, medium-sweet with tingling acidity, just a touch of slatey minerality

Flat nose but ripe, juicy fruits, mid sweet, nice acidity and near perfect minerality.

Good as always but I have yet to see any benefit to short-term cellaring. Maybe we are looking at more like a decade.

Not enough acidity to balance the rich, nearly tropical fruit.

Sweet almonds on the tongue, lower acidity than expected though not overly sweet.

Very low alcohol at 11.0%. Plenty of residual sweetness. Grapefruit, lemon, and heavy pear. Pairs nicely with curry or hearty seafood with citrus.
