Winery | A ripe yet cool and airy nose comprises notes of green apple, citrus zest, pear, and, once again, plenty of floral influence. The notably rich and generously proportioned flavours exude minerality and salinity on the beautifully complex finale. Despite the richness, the mid-palate mouthfeel is based more on finesse and refinement than usual. Excellent. 91-94 points Allen Meadows, Burghound (6/2018) 6/75 IB & OWC UK allocation stocks |
