Tasting Notes: Scented with yellow flowers, lemon and grapefruit, with undertones of cloves, coriander and creamy vanilla oak. It’s long, medium to fullish in weight, unfolding a round, creamy and evenly paced palate of peach, melon and citrus flavour underpinned by a fine chalkiness and backed by a hint of butterscotch. Wrapped in a gentle acidity, it should flesh out over 2-3 years.
