Tasting notes
Pale, green-tinged color. Very closed on the nose. Sweet and lush but reasonably fresh in the mouth, with flavors of peachy fruit salad and spices. Undeniably a bit heavy for this vineyard but there's decent energy here in the context of the year. A bit dry on the back.

Good pale color. Musky white flowers, minerals and pineapple on the nose. Fat but fresh, with an enticing sugar/acid balance and notes of mint and flowers. But here I find an impression of elevated alcohol and an exotic whiff of lichee. Could use a bit more class and definition.
