Revisiting after letting it sit in the cellar for several years, and what a change. Such an enjoyable wine, with a lovely balance of some lemon notes and stone fruit, maybe nectarine. Nose a little shy but opening up, then a wash of concentrated flavour across the palate that gently lingers. Very easy to keep sipping.

Fresh and lively. Good drinking. Perhaps needs a bit of time to open up some more layers, but enjoyable in its youth.
