A beautiful tangerine bergamot thing to begin with. Super-pure. Limpid jelly panna cotta wobble. Then elderflower and grapefruit peel appear. And real gooseberry. Super deep, super pure; incredible fruit intensity. Aromatic Vietnamese mint salad herbal leafy wafts as it sits. Attacks deep and pure too, with a compressed, stone fruit juiciness—but it’s also tongue-coating—tongue-enveloping—as it travels across the palate. Fabulous chew too; intense and mouth-sucking. Whopping fruit power on display here. (If I haven’t intimated this enough already). Fine peach skin chew at the back also, becoming more recognisably Sauvignon Blanc — aromatically — with an hour’s air. This is a blast! A superb medium to full-bodied white wine in—or on—any tongue. Although if you’re seeking further complex developments, this will also age impeccably I suspect*.
