A good example of what old vines are capable of. The wine delivers rich, honeyed stone fruit aromas and flavour – but all that is matched and toned with a citrus or lime leaf nuance and well-judged acidity. The mouthfeel is impressive: focussed, compact, with a pithy lemon cream appeal and distinct body and presence. That texture on the mid-palate is beautiful and matches the poised acid and fruit. Harmonious and long with a well-resolved dry finish.
