Burnt orange peel and blood orange marmalade, spiced Asian pear and dried garrigue herbs. A touch of sweetness on the front palate that leads into dried apple, quite linear yet with some weight and a punchy, taught orchard apple and mineral finish, very long.

Nose has soft tangerine, clean and mineral with sweet acacia honey, apricot blossom, really lovely, expressive and full. This is showing some really lovely juicy tangerine fruit, great balance, supremely drinkable.

Very rich apricot, honey and beeswax, marmalade, sultanas, rum & raisin, spiced pineapple on the nose. Not that far off the sec with only a hint of sweetness, good mix of dried fruit, nut and citrus fruit acidity. Still lively but maybe lacking slightly in complexity.
