A luminous straw – green. Backward, stone chassis nose: citrus and orchard fruit, lemon verbena, gardenia, powdered stone. Wintery in expression and sleek in texture, medium-full: peach stone, cox’s orange pippins, lemon ice. A smouldering acidity, quite overt for an ’05. Less of the stone and liquid florality and more herbal on day two, a chiffon of tarragon and mint. Will still improve. Now – 2020+.
