96 / 100"Wowee. This is a bit of rock'n'roll. All citrus tones, with flint, fennel and daikon. It's complex and savoury, with lots of texture. Brilliant acidity wraps it up tightly. Moreish and utterly delicious."
- James Halliday
Tasting Notes
Brilliant pale straw, some luminescent greens. The nose is highly complex with subtle hints of grapefruit, white peach, cashews and spice. The palate is poised, full of purpose, charming balance of flint and fine creaminess. The earth derived pithiness is wrapped in powerful white peach fruit again and framed with mouth watering natural acids. Complexing very tight grain oak is in the background and ensures the structure and integrity of the wine is in place for at least 8-10 years in bottle.
