Summary
Pale yellow with green glints, green pineapple, papaya and hints of bay leaf, all of which follow through in the mouth, together with peach skin and ripe but gently pithy grapefruit and mandarin. The palate is juicy but firm and focused, especially on the long, tapered finish, which has a pleasingly chalky texture and unusual slate and chalk minerality.
