Light bright yellow. Aromas of ripe nectarine, violet and honey, lifted by vibrant smoky mineral and ginger nuances. Broad and velvety on the palate, offering densely packed yet lively orchard and pit fruit and melon flavors that become smokier and spicier with air. The nectarine note comes back emphatically on the impressively long finish, which shows no rough edges. (JR)

More concentration here and more complex fruit, ranging from apricots and peaches through to mango nuances. The palate has good flesh and is deep and compelling with a taut, composed finish. Drink or hold.
