Forward orchard and citrus notes lead to an apple and lemon toned palate with a zesty end.

The medium intensity nose seems a bit shy, delivering earthy-leesy minerals surrounding a core of ripe apple and pear aromas. On the medium to medium-full bodied palate it has spiced apple, pear, ripe lemon citrus, earthy mineral, and gentle oak spice flavours. It is nicely balanced with juicy acidity. Apple, pear, and gentle spice notes linger on the zesty finish, with very good length. Should peak in about 2-3 years. Tasted Apr. 2024. Score: 90+ pts
