Nose of white cherries and slate. Very nice. Attractive and forward. Palate is juicy and tense. Pretty one note but the note is good. Citrus pithy fruits and very fresh.

Slightly riper and less steely than previous vintages. Nice purity to the citrus and tropic undertones.

Tart, pithy, racy and firm. Feels like a very fresh fruit selection for the warm vintage. Lime zest, green apple, ginger and sea salt flavors. Cheerful quaffer with freshness and verve.

If I could describe as.... mean.... or unforgiving, it wouldn't be a stretch. Yet it appeals.

What a beauty. Medium bodied but sizzling and zesty with underripe papaya, pineapple, and other tropical fruits. Great tension and better value.

2015 vintage. Lemon, yellow apple, chalk, slight smokiness, sage, dried white flowers. Definitely dry on the palate, but not excessively so. Very linear in its path across the palate.
