White

Lemon-gold color, vivid. Ripe candied fruit and caramelised notes on the nose – toasted yet expressive and open, baked apple pie, buttery with vanilla edges. Upfront and impressive on the palate: round and complete this has understated complexity and layering with toasted edges alongside lemon, apricot, honeyed pineapple, mango and a crystalline flinty finish. Not as persistent as 2016, but lots of power – a firm shell with some confit notes and touches of alcohol. Label change from this vintage. Aged for 10 months, 100% new oak barrels (500L, 300L and 225L). 3.19pH. Production 2,200 bottles.
