earth and apple, citrus and herb all mingle on nose and palate. it is the green apple with its chamomile edge and above all the bright ripe lemon freshness which expands across the dry palate. this is full of bright refreshing citrus and a beautifully understated vigor which will live in this wine for years to come. the finish culminates in a gorgeously tart but ripe apple notion. very moreish now and approachable but with lots of future promise. drink 2017–2030.
