A highly ambrosial nose precedes a palate that is rounded and fresh, with pure, creamy, lemon-butter fruit. Aged for a few years before release, this is now a hugely appealing and harmonious wine, which initially feels loosely structured but finishes with a firm, mineral grip. Everything is in place in this highly approachable wine. Pristine, elegant and sure of itself. Unusually for the appellation, the wine is unoaked and sealed with a screwcap. Although the wine is ready to drink now, it could benefit from decanting to open it up.
