Still trying to find its groove as it's a bit gangly from youth. Lots of attractive elements at play, the lightest flavours of lemon-lime, grapefruit, melon and white nectarine with a touch of daikon and cedary, spicy oak. Fine lees add a bit more to the tight palate, which is led by refreshing acidity. Come back to this in a year or so for a more cohesive drink. Points: 94/100
This release is taut and needs some extra time in bottle, for sure, but it’s an excellent release and, even now, is impressive. White peach, woodsmoke, citrus rind and blossom characters come edged with mineral, the latter almost tipping into brine and pebble territory. It feels both honed and immaculate, and given time it will blossom beautifully. 94+ Points: 94/100
Aromas of lemon pith, pastry, grapefruit rind, white peaches and a hint of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with bright, focused acidity and a vivid mouthfeel that leads to flavors of white peaches, spices, hazelnuts, flint and lime curd. Mineral-edged with underlying power. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Points: 95/100
