Other Reviews….
The nose is surprisingly taciturn at the moment, taking time to unfurl and reluctantly offering some light honeyed, white flower aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, very well defined, quite minerally with dried apricot, honey, nectarine and a touch of lemon curd. It would benefit from more weight and intensity towards the finish, but it has good length and finesse, gaining weight all the time with aeration.
Score: 91-93
