Description:
Mid gold. Just a little reduced on the nose and then the impression of quite a bit of residual sugar (4 g/l). Finishes a bit suddenly. Jancis Robinson RS 6.7 g/l. Light gold highlights. Very very smoky and reductive, some peach underneath the gunpowder. Unexpectedly sweet on the palate. Juicy oranges. Bright fruit but that smokiness prevails. I’d like slightly smarter acidity although it has good length. Tamlyn Currin
