Drinking Window: 2026 - 2048 - Bight and fun, a lovely easy, clean and sleek texture, quite straight with focus and a sense of cool freshness on the palate with some soft bitter edges that are so appealing. Has a great frame, slowly expands, not so overtly sweet or zingy, but this is refined and well delivered, still with concentration in the depth and overall long length. 158g/l residual sugar. 3.88pH. - Georgina Hindle Apr 23

13 Apr, 2023 – Tempting dried fruit here with spice and floral character. Full and creamy with attractive acidity and a textural finish.
