Tasting Notes

A fresh and linear vintage showing fresh spearmint and green apple at first, before the fruit broadens and is joined by butterscotch, golden delicious apple and yellow pear. The aromatics are lovely and flora, with a steely edge. A full and layered palate is given complexity and tension with a saline finish.
