Rating: Stars

Straw with a touch of lime and a floral and highly aromatic nose of honeysuckle, gardenia and frangipani with guava, yellow pear, Piel de Sapo melon, snow peas, Chantilly, nougat, cashew and lime cordial.

There’s a touch of salinity in the background too.

In the mouth it’s rich, creamy and fulsome, but balanced well by a line of bouncy acidity that drives a core of ripe fruit, hints of leafiness and caramel-nutty oak. Lovely balance and length. A chew of fine tannins hold from the midpalate onwards and it ends on a nectar like hum of fruits. YUM!
