Drinking Window: 2022 - 2026
A characterful lunchtime sipper at just 12.5%. A hint of struck-match reduction is followed by some stoniness and apricot skin scents. Full, rich and round in the mouth, it's bursting with juicy nectarine, balancing acidity and a stony backbone. A more savoury and bitter apricot skin element emerges, along with some floral lift and yellow plum, leading to a leesy creaminess on the finish.
