Tasting notes
Cask sample. More spicy and stony than the Referts, less creamy in aroma. Lemon and just-ripe apricot. Wonderful balance between intensity and freshness. Power and precision with a great future. (JH)

Pale bright yellow. Captivating nose combines lemon drop, underripe pineapple, dusty stone, white pepper, flowers and mint. Tightly wound and extremely backward, more salty than sweet. Quite minerally and precise owing to its cool, high site. This crisp, intense wine finishes very long and alive, with pungent crushed stone. Almost 2014-like in its coolness, density and savory minerality.
