Sea breeze scents introduce the restrained, yet focused nose. Lemon curd, white peach, fresh roasted cashew with perfumed oak providing a sublime frame of cream and spice to the fruit. An initially creamy, mealy palate lays solid stage for the characters of lime, lemon blossom and white peach. Finely spun texture and mineral acid ignite a luxuriously long palate line that pronounces the longevity of this wine. Great balance. While enjoyment can be found now, the real rewards will come with cellaring, as a future of 12 – 15 years is assured such is its power and length.
