Lovely, medium-high to highly aromatic nose is smoky and reductive, layered over ripe apple, lemon citrus, and pear aromas, plus a touch of oak adding further complexity. It's medium+ to medium-full bodied on the dry palate with lovely, well-balanced aroma replays echoing on the flavour profile with complex pear, smoky mineral, and leesy notes. It has juicy acidity and a very nice mouthfeel. Excellent length with touches of spice on the finish. Tasted May 2025.
