Nose
The fullness and richness of this sunny vintage are complemented by a fresh, chalky minerality. Notes of white-fleshed fruits and candied lemon are followed by aromas of roasting and dried fruits and nuts, such as apricots and grilled almonds.

The broad, fresh and vertical entry to the palate reveals great complexity. Notes of citrus fruit and lemon zest underpin a long finish of toasty mocha and vanilla overtones, creating a perfect blend of freshness and character.
