Highly aromatic and ripe with lovely, open aromas of petrol, lemon/lime citrus, peach, red apple, earth, and stony minerals. It's medium-full bodied on the semi-dry (i.e. somewhat sweet) dense palate with delicious peach/apricot, citrus, and petrol flavours, all of which is supported by fresh and juicy acidity. Attractive petrol, spice, and citrus notes linger on the long, complex finish. Tasted Apr. 2026. Score: 92+ pts
