Need to enjoy this at just below temperature and not too cold. An aroma to lighten the soul with voices of summer and early autumn singing through the glass - mango, lychee and perhaps a hint of tobacco. A powerful body with a sense of purpose and lovely flavour profile. Not a long acidity so not one to go the distance. A bold finish with explosions of honey.
Drink now to 6+ years.

This was delightful tonight with an abundance of cool, green orchard fruit, bright acidity, some baking spice notes and firm minerality throughout. The depth and concentration was commendable. Overall, quite nice with lots of years ahead of it.

Medium plus nose shows lemon peel, almond, kiwi, golden pear. Palate is nicely expressive, balanced, rich fruit but saline acidity, still young (and a little cold for me), but complexity is there and should age beautifully.

First I had from this vintage. Once again prototypical nose of citrus and chalky mineral. Rich citrus mouth feel and has years of life ahead of it. The 16 is at a better spot now

A very approachable drink now.
